Bleeding Emotions

Why bother talking, When no one really cares, Fake smiles and hugs, Shallow sympathetic stares. Why bother smiling, When no one ever looks, May as well be invisible, Get lost in the nooks, And crannies of this life, Just disappear out of sight, Who would even notice, If I left tonight, Why bother with this, When I know I don't matter, Forget it I'm done, No more feelings laid out on platters. No more heart on my sleeve, No more smile on my face, I'm done giving, I'm done with this space, This place, this waste, The way my feelings are nothing, Just words on a page. Smile on a comment, When my words speak of pain, Why even bother, What is there to gain. Sure it's beautiful, More heartfelt than you realize, But no one ever questions, The darkness in my eyes. It's just words on a page, For you all to read... Nothing more..nothing less... Just smile, as my emotions bleed.
