Self-pity

Look past what you see on the outside.
Tell me that I don't have to be so strong all the time,
   that I can show that I am weak sometimes.
Let me know that my tears aren't unwarranted,
   and that even the strong must strive to stay strong.

See me for who I am and not for what I do.
Understand that my heart is just as fallable
   and easily broken as anyone else's
I cannot survive by myself in this world, no one can
   and I am struggling to keep myself from drowning

I am so tired of being lonely and un-alone
When will you come to see me, to share with me
   everything and anything that people share
Why am I left feeling that you do not miss me,
   that you might be better off without the burden
   of knowing me?

Wow!  What a piece of art.  How many of us have the same thoughts, from time to time, but dared not to share it with others for fear of being seen as weak.
