What They Don't Know

To them it doesn't matter

If your heart's about to tear

They don't know who you are

And they don't care

They don't understand

How much you meant what you said

They don't care how much you hurt

Or how many tears you shed

The others don't care either

They tease and they taunt

And always seem to get

Whatever they want

It never seems to matter

How much you try

Because no one cares

And all you can do is sigh

They have never put themselves

in your shoes

To them it doesn't matter

Whoever they choose

They don't know that you're great

They don't know who you are

They haven't seen your potential

And how you'll make it so far

POET'S NOTE

I wrote this poem while imagining what would happen at the 'nerd's' first audition. Obviously, she was rejected, but she didn't give up. I'm a bit attached to this poem, and I always will be. I wrote it when I thought I was rejected for something I was auditioning for, but I ended up getting the part. Yeah, a bit of an overreaction but still... Thanks for reading :)
