Are you my friend even though

Are you my friend even though you’re not always by my side?
Would you comfort me when I’m going through darker stages?
Can you help me overcome my fears by just standing next to me?
Are you there when I’m standing alone in a crowd?
Can you hear me scream from the inside when I’m hiding it?
Do you wipe away those tears that I shed from being a coward?
Are you ever there?
Can you even see me?
Will you ever even talk to me?
Can’t you see that even though you’re close to me, I feel miles apart?
Do you even know that I’m here? That I’m living? I’m trying?
Are you even my friend?
