The Reality That Hurts

How many things you should give up
So they will see?
How many nights to cry, so
They will notice you?

Living with the indifference of others,
Forgetting the necessity of warmth,
Then what is this life for?
We do create by ourselves
The reality that hurts.

It takes more than expected sometimes to be understood, a good poem.

This is an awesome poem. What is this "reality" you're talking about I missed that. I know I will say 'duh' to myself when you respond and tell me.

"Try to see what's in your heart, try to see what you're doing now...Explain to me why doesn't it express your inner voice?...Why all the things you're doing are so wrong, and hurt so much?...Why don't you build a happy state you long to?....Why do you like what is around if all of it is evil and dark?..."

Thank you so much, Ayesha! This is all about life we live every day. We only get what we make, and no more, no less. So if it hurts, ain't we doing things in a wrong way?..
