hello

I said hello to someone

and I wish that they could see

I'm kicking and trying

screaming and pleading

I'm slowly drowning.

But they never asked me. 

I said I was fine today

and my head whispered into me

the voices told me I wasn't enough

and I believed.

I told my friend I felt alone

she said we all feel that way.

Oh, so you also feel worthless?

No, you feel pain.

You see the world and wish it was better,

while I see it and wish I was the one better.

You wish to change the world, but

all I wish,

all I wish is to change me. 

I said hello to someone today

but I wish I hadn't

because I know they didn't hear.
