Knowing*

Have you ever felt alone?
Like no one is there
Like no one really cares
Have you ever wanted to scream all the pain away?
Because you just can’t go on
That’s how I feel
Always alone with no one there
But no matter how hard I may scream
People just turn their heads
Like I’m doing something wrong
Sure people come and help
But they always find their way out
I’m like some disgrace.
So here I am
All torn apart
Wondering what the world has in store.
Probably not much
I’m just like any other kid to them
Just out to make trouble
They don’t realize the pain
All the cuts and bruises
And the sleepless nights
Trying to fight for my life.
Sure sometimes it feels worthless
Like maybe I should die
But then I look back
On how things used to be
Before things started getting out of hand
And I can’t help but smile
Knowing that they used to care.
