Inertia

Why don’t you care?
Why can’t you see?
How your words and actions
Affect me

These tears are not fake
My pain is quite real
But you’ll never understand
Just how I feel

I try to tell you
You don’t seem to hear
Would you even notice
If I disappear

From now on I will keep
My thoughts to myself
Locked in a box
High atop a shelf

No one will see them
Nobody will know
And I’ll continue to exist
Hope you enjoy the show

“Tears are words that need to be written.” ~ Paulo Coelho
