What Would You Do?

What would you do
If you saw my pain?
Would you try to help
Knowing it's in vain?

Should I 'buck up'
And get on with it all
Should I recover
Even after the fall?

What would you say
If I told you these feelings
Would you say you understood
Would you know their meanings?

If you saw me one day
Standing alone in the street
Would you take any notice
Would you want to meet?

If you saw the tears
That wind a path
Would you wipe them away
Or would you simply laugh?

Those people I meet
What do they think
Am I just another
Or am I the missing link?

Do I need a better mask?
Do my insecurities show?
Would you help me up again?
Do I need to let you know?

When I look in a mirror
What do I see?
I see a person
I don't want to be

And if one day
You see my wrist
You see my smile
You recognise this twist

Please don't make a deal
That would make it worse
Please just tell me you're here
'Cause I don't want to get worse.
