Who Cares
I look around
And i see the world changing
But i stay put, don't change
People look at me strange
Like i shouldn’t belong
Then i feel sad, heartbroken and lost
No one cares how i feel
They don’t see me break down
They don’t see me burning
They act like i’m not here
And sometimes i wish it was true
They don’t mess with me
When i’m around
But as soon as i leave, they do
I know they do
By the look on their faces
They don’t realize that i know
They think i’m stupid or blind
I don’t know which
Or it could be both
But i don’t know
I feel like i’m in a deep dark hole
And no one sees me
Or at least not the real me
Very few can see
One day they care
And the next they don’t
If someone actually cared
It would bring me to tears
But i don’t see that happening
Any time soon
Or at least i don’t know
I run away
To cry my heart out
But no one comes for me
To comfort me
To hold me
Like i see others do
I guess it’s not for me
Slowly tears fall from my face
Finally someone sees
I feel ashamed
Of them seeing me like this
They didn’t try to comfort me
When i needed it
Why now when i don’t
Why would anyone care?
Who cares!
