Can't anybody help me??

Can't anyone help me, won't anyone help me??
The laughter, conversations and jokes
Lap over me like waves.
It doesn't touch me inside
Where all my hurt and pain lays hidden.
Can't anyone help me, Won't anyone help me??
You all think nothings wrong
You can't see through my mask
But inside I need help
Can't anyone help me, won't anyone help me??
A voice inside my head trys
But I'm too far gone for that
I'm falling into darkness
I'm near the end of no return
A tear rolls down my cheek
Can't anyone help me, won't anyone help me??
