I never fully understood people,
The whys and hows behind them
How some can be so caring,
Others so cold
I told her about my feelings,
Really opened up—
She told me to “just not care.”
Three simple words; my whole existence dismissed
Sure, I can try
Try not to care about:
The way my body is twisted and tainted,
The way others have torn me around,
The way my mind screams at me,
Or the emotions that lead to a searing pain
Sure, I can forget...
But why?
Why do you want me to not care?
Explain it to me
Why do you despise my pain?
Let me see your fear
Why do you expect me to hide?
And how?
How can you be so cold?
I’m so confused
How did you become like this?
Let me understand you
How can you see my pain and turn away?
Please, I beg you, enlighten my mind
Help me understand,
So that in hopes, I might be understood...
Too.
