Does Anyone Care?

Does anyone care about all the pain that I’m going through? Does anyone know that suicide 
is what I feel the need to do? Does anyone care besides the good lord his self? Sometimes it 
seems as if he’s not listening either, sometimes I just feel all by myself. Is there anyone out 
there who understands my feelings? Sometimes it seems as if god could not even begin the 
healing. Only because I’ve got so much hurt and anger inside my heart, day by day I feel 
like I’m falling apart. Does anyone care that every night I cry myself to sleep? It’s not going 
to get any better, or at least that’s how it seems. Why doesn’t anybody hear my cries? 
Sometimes I just want to go ahead and die. At 25 years old, I can’t even remember how 
many times I’ve been raped, the first time was when I was only ten years of age. My mom 
didn’t believe me which broke my heart yet again, when will somebody care? When will all 
this end? It’s almost like my whole family just laughed at everything I’ve went through, 
sometimes I just want someone to tell me the words I love you. I feel like even god will not 
be there, I just wish I knew if there was someone out there who really does care.*
