Never Know Pain Until Nobody Cares

Imagine you’re alone and there’s nobody who cares
everyone disrespects and treats you unfair
you’re emotionally crushed
living a nightmare 
slandered and helpless
no one anywhere 

Now imagine you’re accused 
of making up stories too
tales for attention overused 
so nobody comes through

Bosses bullied now you’re sacked
losing all your friends at work
your friends still believe it’s all crap
can’t explain you going berserk

Now imagine you’re accused 
of making up stories too
tales for attention overused 
so nobody comes through

Unaware you loved working that job
unaware you were targeted by the boss
months you suffered while friends scoffed 
still unaware of what you lost

Now imagine you’re accused 
of making up stories too
tales for attention overused 
so nobody comes through

I screamed out a cry for help
which nobody took serious
and there I was stuck in hell
ahead of me disastrous 

Now imagine you’re accused 
of making up stories too
tales for attention overused 
so nobody comes through

In their refusal was disrespect
a “usual” annoyance 
my cry a cry they expect
a useless nuisance 

Now imagine you’re accused 
of making up stories too
tales for attention overused 
so nobody comes through

My friends this says a lot about me
and everything about you
realised eventually what did you do 
made out that you were loyal and true 

..... and I just went funny one day,
you’re the victim accused in this poem
bad things about you that I say 
a lack of love is all I’m knowing 
my whole life this way

Now imagine you’re accused 
of making up stories too
tales for attention overused 
so nobody comes through
 
That story you tell of me has surprises 
I nicked your bike but I was in Cyprus
saying I’m the one a storyteller 
I’m the image in your mirror

Now accuse me of stories too 
cry and moan while someone comes through
deal with it like I could never do
then make out you’re the better man too.

To the reader imagining 
now imagine you're not imagining
and this is your life
