Hosea Griffith Poet Blank verse

Who Cares: No One

Sometimes I think that no one cares for me...
But me.

Sometimes I think that my mom doesn't care
She's too busy trying to get me out the house
Too busy waiting for the day I turn 18
So she can be through with me.

Sometimes I think that my dad doesn't care
He's too busy.... what is he doing?
Too busy being somewhere else
Can you tell me where he is? Because I don't know.

Sometimes I think that my bestfriend doesn't care
He's too busy worrying about the latest gossip
Too busy living his "perfect" life
To even think about what's wrong with me.

Sometimes I think that my family doesn't care
They're too busy being separated
Too busy fighting each other
To actually take the time out to talk.

Sometimes I think that my friends don't care
They're too busy laughing and joking around
Too busy worrying about their lives
And I feel I shouldn't force mines upon them.

Sometimes I think that the world doesn't care
It's too busy fighting itself, killing itself
Too busy with living, moving forward
Not caring about the wounded soldier left behind.

Lee Ramage August 28, 2011 at 12:43 AM You sound very sad, but no matter how much you thing no one cares, I DO. I care about people and I am sending you a hug. Try spending some time with an elderly person or volunteer helping someone, and you will find that you feel fulfilled, and know that people do care.
