Do you hear me?
Do you see me?
Do you feel me,
Standing,
Here next to you?

And have you ever,
Truly cared for,
Me,
Or us,
Or has it only been you?

Have you ever wondered why?
Why you never heard me cry?

Well it's because you never cared enough to listen,
All those times that you made my eyes glisten.

Every tear that I did shed,
Was always so misread.

You thought they were of happiness,
But really they were not.
They were of the hurt and hate
And all the pain that I fought.

I'm hurting from the inside out,
All I want to do is SHOUT!
But no one would ever hear me.
You wouldn't even care to see me...

Yet still I'm trying to stay strong,
I just don't know for how long.
