Strong Friend

Sometimes your strong friend is the one who is suffering the most inside
While they listen to your problems you fail to see the pain in their eyes 
They help you deal with your worries, but their own problems they hide
Most of the time, your strong friend is the one who is suffering the most inside 

We all cry, but only some tears are seen
We all need help, but not everyone hears the screams
Do you check in on your strong friend? 
The one who hides their nightmares from you to repair your dreams? 

You're selfish if you pour your heart out to a person without asking them about their mind state 
You don't realise that when you leave, they stay up and Drink late 
You don't know the Suicidal thoughts they're battling, hoping they don't become a reality 
You're selfish and act like you're the only hurt person, and don't care about their mentality 

You talk about your relationship issues, while your strong friends, dream girl just got with another man
We all need a little help, is that too hard to understand? 
Some of us are still trying to figure out what part of the world we belong in
The one suffering the most is usually the strong friend 

Sometimes your strong friend is the one who is suffering the most inside 
While they listen to your problems you fail to see the pain in their eyes
They help you to deal with your worries, but their own problems they hide 
Most of the time, your strong friend is the one who is suffering the most inside
