I can't get a single word out
Before everyone's problems flood over me
Overwhelm me
And drown me
I can't find the words to say
To make myself feel better
And it's hard
Because when I try
Nobody wants to listen
Every one else
Has problems
That are one thousand times worse
When I tell them my own
They don't listen
Not like the way I listen to them
Time and time again
They brush me aside
Don't ask me if I'm alright
People are selfish
You see
They only care about themselves
And don't bother with anyone else
It's the ones who suffer silently
That go off the edge
It's the ones who suffer indefinitely
That stick a bullet
In their head
The ones who are silent
The ones who are selfless
Speak little words
But are so broken
That they grow tired
Grow tired of waiting
For somebody to finally share
All the pain they've been facing
Grow tired of
the extra problems
That they finally
Cave
And commit the unredeemable
Act of sin
And cheat themselves of this life
And all it has to give
