Where Are You

Sometimes I often wonder why
Internal peace is hard to find
Others say to look within
hows it possible
When you are uncomfortable
in your own skin
those who love the world the most
wander around like an unsettled ghost
Someone you know and love is floating through life...
Never here nor there

They feel they've let themselves down,
Their screams are not loud..
A smile on their face,
it's out of place
They battle things you know nothing about
They think If I'm no longer here.. no one will care..
they would call or they'd be here
Reach out to those you love so one day you don't ask yourself...

Where were you when they needed you?
when you last spoke to them
did you just point out all the ways
that they aren't you..
Were you worried about their silence?
Question their mental violence?
Or were you glad they were finally mute?
If they had reached out,
Would you have acted like it was
a debt that will be due?

Dont be the reason people give up
and no longer try
Don't be too worried about your own life
look for the silent tears that they cry
Don't wait until you have tears of your own
When you think back of how you never picked up the phone...

When they want to give up
You'll say they were loved
Someone that everyone was proud of..
Don't wait until the cold slab of stone
Is staring back at you
Youll only ask why.... "Nobody knew"

where were you..
did you ask
did you only bring up
things they did in the past
did you not reach out
because they didn't cry out loud
recently have you told them that you were proud..

Where were you
When they were all alone
When you didn't hear from them
Did you pick up your phone

They tried to keep quiet
they try not to be a burden
Why would they put their problem on you
You don't deserve it

They tried to stay small
And lost the battle with it all
they were all alone
When their back was against the wall

Where were you when they needed you?
when you last spoke to them
did you just point out all the ways
that they aren't you..
Were you worried about their silence?
Question their mental violence?
Or were you glad they were finally mute?
If they had reached out,
Would you have acted like it was
a debt that will be due?
where are you

They are waiting
Where Are You

they are waiting for
I love you
