they say
'so many people love you.'
I've heard that too much.
they will never know
how it feels
to be shot
down
down
down
to the floor
until you are no more
never.
they don't know
how the hurtful words
of people I love
are shards of glass
thrown at me
every second of the day
they will never know
the pain
of your own mother
and father
saying you are
a failure
that you.
don't.
matter.
that they don't care.
never.
they don't know
that you will never
ever
be happy
because the problems
just keep coming back
like an annoying pebble in your shoe
that never goes away
they will never know
how I feel
never.
ever.
