contrived

care

i bumble through the confusion

lost among the faces

that stare past me

"yes, i am here"

but they don't care

i am but another burden

society outcast

certainly not worthy

"yes, i am here"

but they don't care

i lay silently still

arms folded on my chest

confused by the tears

"yes, i am here"

now you choose to care

i bumble through the confusion

lost in the darkness

of eternal fears

"yes, i am here"

no need to care

Now
