A million pieces

Standing on the side walk, on a rainy afternoon,
Watching people pass me by, not a single one cares,
I stare down at a puddle, seeing my cold face,
I hug myself, and look away from my reflections stare,

I feel so cold and lonely, not knowing what to do,
Tears fall from my eyes, and mix with the rain,
It's sad how people know you fake a smile and a laugh,
But don't know your depression and your pain,

People can be so obvious to everything around,
But so blind to the truth they should know,
Not seeing the hints for help people scream at them,
Or maybe they just ignore what we show,

I sit down on the curb, my head in my hands,
I start to think, think about the life I live,
There's nothing I can do, no change to make,
I can't help anybody; I've got nothing to give,

I lost all hope, the day it all went wrong,
My depression grew, and my pain increases,
Slowly falling down, spiraling towards the abyss,
My heart, shattered into a million pieces.
