Who are we when no one is watching?

When no camera is trained, spying?

We are quiet, crying or just sitting staring

Or we’re loud hoping they won’t leave us alone

Show that they are caring

Some will tell lies to stir up the silence

To stir up drama to escape the hate of their quiet

Some just wait by someone’s side

Waiting for them to breathe, waiting for it to be right

Again

Some people form a plan to run far away

Some people can’t stand the loud of their thoughts, and wishes not to stay

Some are better in their own, and see the mirror

Some can’t help but hide hoping not to have a murderer kill them

Some people don’t remember because it’s someone else

Or some sleep as a way to cry for help

Some solve all their problems, hoping for peace

Others find a way to drown out the memories they keep

So who are we when no one is watching

Anxious, nervous, scared or at peace

So they see it as a burden to be alone or do they simply feel free

Do they run through their regrets with their heart in their throat

Or do they find something to do so they can share something great to gloat

While some hide in shadows waiting for a blow

Or shine because they have no idea what to do other than glow

What do we do, well we do many, these stories don’t get told

We’re here for each other but yet we are always alone
