Look Closer

There is this smile. 
One that says he is fine. 
One that says he is okay. 
But it is fake. 
So let us look closer. 

There are the words he says. 
Words of encouragement. 
Words that make you laugh. 
But that is also fake. 
So let us look even closer. 

There is this 27 year old. 
A young healthy man. 
A young lucky man. 
But that is also just another layer. 
So let us dig a little deeper. 

There is this boy. 
Scared. 
Lonely. 
Confused. 
Feeling not worthy. 

Please don’t look away. 
You have for way too long.
