They Know Nothing

I’ve done what they’ve told me,
And no matter how much they scold me,
Nothing helps anymore.
Life just feels like a chore

It’s exhausting
Just existing is costing
Me everything that I ever had.
And they just say, ‘It’s not that bad.’

They neglect it, as if it was never there,
And honestly, I can’t even bear
To deal with them anymore,
And the pain is seeping into my core.

Where I can’t do anything about it,
And I’m really starting to doubt that
They know anything about what I’m going through
But I’ll do what they tell me to.
