Why No One Tried
I've been choking back on
Tears for weeks, and no one notices.
The tears finally flood my eyes,
And fall like rain.
There is a darker shade of hatred
Filling my head. I try to call out.
Will someone see my need for salvation?
I cry until I can cry no more,
And take a final shakey breath.
No more writing with the knife tonight..
I now see why no one tried, because
They all knew that no matter how hard
They tried, they couldn't protect me from myself.
Tears for weeks, and no one notices.
The tears finally flood my eyes,
And fall like rain.
There is a darker shade of hatred
Filling my head. I try to call out.
Will someone see my need for salvation?
I cry until I can cry no more,
And take a final shakey breath.
No more writing with the knife tonight..
I now see why no one tried, because
