Never
Never cared when I was in pain.
Never cared when I cried.
Never cared for my feelings.
Never cared to say more then “hi” to me.
Never cared that I was alone.
Never cared what the kids at school said.
Never cared what I thought of mom.
Never cared when my eyes screamed “help”,
Never cared that you smothered me with loneliness.
Never cared that I was a goddess,
Never cared that you made me a slave.
Never cared to see how much I hurt.
Never given a choice,
Never given a chance,
Never given a life,
Never allowed to live.
Never came when I needed you most.
Just as long as I wasn’t in deep trouble,
You were never there.
You only cared when I complained too much.
