Whispers: a Young Girl's Story

Whispers... that's all they hear All they ever hear Screaming for someone to just look my way But whispers that fade into nothing is All they make out All they notice All they care to hear I talk I tell an interesting story But they don't hear They just keep talking to the others So I just listen not saying another Word, going into my world of emptiness Going deeper deeper into myself They ask what's wrong, I tell them] Nothing in fear they will hear nothing In fear they will judge In fear they will hear only whispers I cry I cry myself to sleep Listening to nothing but the rain I cry for somebody to just Take one glance my way and Not see a nothing but a something That actually matters I get excited I get excited over the littlest things But they never see my accomplishments They never get excited for me Because they can't see me Don't care to see me And I can't tell them In fear I will become a nuisance Will become overly dramatic Become only a memory A shadow A whisper Whispers are all they hear So I try to numb my feelings With prescriptions not intended for me With childhood memories with siblings But they just bring back bad memories They can't shut out the Whispers in my head Telling me "no one cares No one wants to hear you talk No one cares to celebrate anything That deals with you" I talk, I cry, I listen But no one hears No one cares to hear I cry, I talk They look the other way in my mid sentence I fade into nothing but whispers I cry out for someone's help, anybody's help But no one comes No one cares enough to come They only hear my whispers
