What Lies Beneath
Do you know the face of suicide?
Is there anything behind your smile that you're trying to hide?
Is it that beautiful model struggling for success?
Is it that teenage girl trying to fit in with the rest?
Is it the proud vet fighting hard for his country?
Missing loved ones, losing friends, homesick and lonely?
Is it the young mother of 3 hustling to make ends meet?
She's very polite but is secretly being beat.
Is it the aspiring singer whose music she longs for the world to hear?
Is it that D-List celebrity longing for an A-List career?
Is it the insecure girl who doesn't meet society's standards of beauty?
Or the 25 year police officer who lost his partner in the line of duty?
Is it the up and coming athlete working hard to perfect the game?
No one wants to fail but not everyone can handle the fame.
Is it the young man who confided in a friend
Only to have his business become a social media trend?
Is it the desire to be accepted or the need for love and affection?
Or could it be the harsh reality of rejection?
Is it your neighbor who stops by everyday to say
That she's happy to see you and is having a wonderful day?
To those who don't know, let this be a lesson
That the faceof suicide was once a face of depression.
