I was lying in bed last night
Thoughts were rushing through my head
And I was just trying to figure out
Why is everyone so sad?
I took a look at my experiences and concluded that,
No one cares to understand us.
As a child I watched people grow apart,
I watched them tear themselves apart,
And I am over in the corner watching,
Watching while experiencing pain,
The pain that comes with living.
And I understand.
The people, no it's the children of my generation who seem to suffer the most.
I have watched friends be touched by who they thought they could trust,
Heck, I've experienced the same.
I have had people crumble at my fingertips,
And all I could do is stand,
Feeling helpless.
Tell me, have you ever stayed up all night with never-ending thoughts?
Have you ever lain in bed holding back tears after being hurt by those you call family?
Have you ever built up so much stress that you can only stare at something without thought,
Because the moment you start thinking your head starts to pound?
Have you ever started crying when finally hearing that someone understands your pain?
I have, I understand.
So the question remains, why?
Is it because we have experienced so much trauma that an adult cannot comprehend?
Is it because we are at constant war with ourselves?
Is it because we are constantly beaten and shunned by those we love?
Is it because we are under a constant amount of stress?
Yes, yes it is.
So why, why do we not reach out for help?
It's because we are afraid.
We are afraid because no one ever believes us.
We are afraid because we are hurt by those around us.
We are afraid because it is all we know.
I ask you to help those of us whom are afraid.
