Calling Out

Sharing was never easy to do
Sorrows rather than joy, seemed more the issue

When everyone said spread happiness and cut down tears
Did you feel conscious of expressing your fears

Is it ok to share happiness but cloak the sadness
Or, is there some strength we must try to impress

Ever picked up the phone and kept it down
Not knowing if you wanted to share the frown

When called, waited for the person to realise
That everything with you wasn’t alright

When met, held on to the fake smile
Hoping he would see through the futile

Why is it difficult to hole out
What could be so important to fear the dole out

Those scarred with backlashes would comment
A previous case had their confidence bent

But how long does one go on
Hiding every emotion forlorn

Isn't it all about finding your comfort zone
Friends who wont push you off the throne

A confession would become a conversation
And a fear would get them more dear

But more than that every single time you’re down
You’ll smile knowing that someone is near
