                   you

everyone
is always
trying

trying
trying trying trying

trying so hard
they never stop trying

and i wonder

what is it
they are trying to do

what is it
they are hoping to achieve

what is it
they are running from

or
more pertinently
where is it
they are running to

i just want to rip the scars you left on me off

i just want to remove the thoughts of you from my mind

i just want to burn the image of you out of my thoughts

i just want to pretend like you no longer exist

Little girl,

do not believe
-
not even for a second

that you matter to anyone.

so i guess you
         k
            n
                o
                   w

but i should have
              k
                  n
                      o
    ­                      w
                               n

this is how it would be.

everyone else already
                                k
                              ­       n
                                         e
                                              w
that.

i just wish i didnt
                            k
                               n
                                  o
                           ­         w
i was right.

No one cares, no one listens
No one
Even the little things hurt
I thought you'd pick up on that
