I wrote this back in the early 80's.It was a personal tribute to a very close friend.
No one really knows
No one really cares
Tears on her cheeks
At nothing she stares
She doesn't understand
A thought in her head
The pain in her heart
Or the tears she's shed
Almost all that she's loved
Somehow's gone astray
The life that she's earned
Has been taken away
She silently wonders
Where does it end
A half forced smile
Yea,she has to pretend
Again she's lost
In anguish she's nude
Her complicated life
Somehow seems crude
No one seems to know
No one seems to care
Pain in her heart
As her memory flares
She doesn't understand
The thoughts in her head
The tears on her cheeks
Or the tears she's shed
This may seem sad,it may seem depressing.Someone famous once said,"To talk down(into) people,you have to speak in a language that they understand."
I consider the greatest and most looked over gift ,the ability to relate.It sets us apart in many ways.What a blessing when it serves the greater good by bringing us closer together.

You are so right about to most over looked gift...that ability to relate! I believe that people do care and maybe not able to allow them self to come out of their own dispare...a tear speaks a thousand words! depression has its deceiving facts "we are not alone and yes there is someone who does understand and know of that pain you are feeling!"
