failure or not
at least my grandchildren
will remember me
remember that i
tried

I will love you
Even if nothing guarantees that you'll love me back

Tonight,
Don't  go your separate way,
Just be near others,
Just stay.

These words are here because no one listens.
When I speak out loud the words in my heart,
they fall on deaf ears.
Some may wonder why I’m quiet most of the time,
but truth is
I find it easier when I don’t say a thing.
It hurts less than realizing no one was ever really paying attention.
