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.
