I Don'T Care

I DON’T CARE
The feeling that I once had
When rejection pierced
Pain that alienated me 
Made all peopled places blurred
A pain I felt for years

One word drilled into my ears
Penetrated into my heart
Fused deep into my thoughts
My body turned to a whale
My legs felt heavy to walk 

Why hurting me this much?
Is it true what she said?
Am I ‘a hypocrite’?
Is it that much visible?
I really can’t tell if it’s true

No one likes to be called 
What she thinks she isn’t
I’m not a hypocrite
Only a direct person
Here me out,people!
I keep it real and true
That’s a promise to myself

I may be whatever you want 
But I’m honest and loyal to myself
When I walk by,you stop and stare
Well,keep looking,cause I don’t care
I have my own life and taste
One thing I know
I won’t try to please you
Or create a smile that never existed 

What can I do?Nothing
Change people’s minds? Impossible
Only do I know the truth of my identity
Continue living the life
As if no one else is around
My weapon to use
Just keep on contributing my part
And keep the chin up
Cause ”I don’t care”anyways.
