Do You?

Do you hear my cries?
Do you feel my pain?
Can you see my tear?
Do you know my fears?

When my tears cry out,
Can you hear what they say?
They whisper “I'm in pain,”
They cry out “I'm lonely and scared.”

When you see I'm in pain,
Can you feel what I feel?
Razor blades tearing at my soul
My heart broken so long ago.

Do you know what it feels like to
Live in fear?
To be so lonely?
To be so scared?

Do you know what it feels like 
To cry out but it seems as if no one cares?
To cry your eyes out but,
No one's there?

So tell me...

Can you hear my cries?
Can you feel my pain?
Can you see my tears?
Do you know my fears?
