just listen

I feel trapped
trapped in my emotions
in my body
in my mind

I feel like I'm alone
like no one is listening
no one cares
no one cares about me

I feel like I can't express myself
in the way I want to
or without getting hurt
or hurting you

I say I don't think people care
but then they get mad at me?
how am I supposed to go on thinking we're friends,
or that you really do care how I feel?

do you really care how I feel?
or is it just a joke
are you trying to scare me
or hurt me?

I don't know how to talk to you
to say how I feel
because then you just get mad again
and say your sorry because of how I see it

why can't you just listen to me?
listen to my feelings and my needs?
without thinking about yourself
for just one minute.

just listen.

Of all those questions, dilemmas & confusions but still I can see a flame of hope burning... and that's what people lack in their life... Beautiful conception... :)
