Nobody listened

Just stare at me teary eyes
As i walk around
Feeling fragile, feeling scared
my heart falls to the ground.

I find it so demeaning
The way you look at my health
and tell me I have no reason to be sad,
I’ve just got to get over myself.

Then why do I cry these tears
and think of suicide each day
What about these times I’ve wished
that pain would go away

Why do you try to degrade
my hearts every piece of pain
Just because my skin did heal,
And left nothing to remain.

You can’t say I only act,
you haven’t been in this mind
You can say I just want attention,
Because I left the cutting behind.

They never pay attention,
because they never cared
when my skin wept crimson tears
Those people only stared

My pain doesn’t matter,
People in Africa are in starvation,
that’s the support they offer me,
That’s my inspiration.

So I looked into this deadly blade,
I watched as the steel glistened,
And now this time I’m going to die,
Because nobody listened.

They’ll never hear my words
It’s blocked out by the weir
Now they’ll never hear my voice,
They lost their chance to hear.
