Those The Nearest

Why is it those the nearest
Are always far away
They are busy feeling other’s pain
But yours Oh they just say
Look at him
Oh nothing bother’s
Yes nothing affects him so
Because they just won’t try to see
How things affect you so
They should know if I am quiet
Then something’s wrong inside
They know if I don’t talk to them
The pain I have I’ll hide
Most cause they are judgmental
They feel I’ve no right to be
No they think only they deserve
Consoling don’t you see
