She needs to be

Understood

Yet no one

Will take the time to

Understand

So she puts it into words on paper

Blank paper

Starts to fill with black ink

Line after line

Word after word

Space after space

She keeps writing

Hoping someone will

Find it and read her poetic words

So they finally will know

Why she just smiles

Instead of bursting into tears

Or why

She never looks people in the eyes

But no they'll never

Find it

Cause nobody wants to

No one will look

They would rather

Not worry about it

Than actually try to help

I'll smile before the tears

I'll look down before I look someone in the eyes

And I'll hope that you find this

Before I let my self know that

You never will

"Don't worry about me, i'm fine."
"I hope this isn't to confusing."

This touched a nerve for me. I'm a teacher and one of the absolute toughest things I can experience in the classroom is to be aware of students feeling this. It's so difficult to deal with that sense of isolation and misunderstanding without opening it up in front of the whole class. You've captured with words the expressions I see on faces far too often.
