Nobody Cares.
The cries ring through the house
From one end to the other
They're heard from next door—
Possibly even down the road
But people are ignorant,
And nobody cares
The sounds of shattering glass
Reverberates within my brain
Trying to process it all
I try to tell someone
But people are ignorant,
And nobody cares
You'd think they'd have noticed I was gone
Walking between them and out the door
Running hard and crying till my lungs gave out
Millions of thoughts running through my head
But people are ignorant,
And nobody cares
It's been three hours now, and nobody's looking
The night is calm, quiet and still
Except for the girl walking the dark streets alone
Silent tears streaming down her cheeks
But people are ignorant,
And nobody cares
A car pulls up, and headlights shine bright
A familiar figure steps out of the shadows
Across the busy street I run
Tears caressing my face and a sob escaping my lips
But people are ignorant,
And nobody cares
I'm wrapped up into a warm embrace
And carried to the car
The only one who ever cared,
And my best friend by far
She took me home and calmed me down
I let it all go and broke down, piece by piece
Recalling it all
All the fighting, screaming
And now I know who's really my family
Not those lying, bickering bastards at home
That claim they love me
But those who prove it to me
And help me in my time of need
'Cause my family's ignorant,
but my true friends will always care.
