In My Head

Do You Even Know?

I know you notice the invisible kids. The smartest kid with no friends. The one with long sleeves. The ones who don't eat, don't sleep, the ones whose faces are red from tears. I know you see them. But you don't care that your words are tearing them apart. I understand you think its a joke but what if all you were ever told was "you're not good enough" at school, at home. They think that's the way it will always be. Did you know the smart girl stopped anwsering questions because she was a know it all. Do you know the scars are caused by your words. No you don't know the reason she doesn't eat is because you think she's fat. And they don't sleep because they are too afraid of what lies in their dreams. These kids are in ever school no matter catholic, private, or public. They think school is bulky free because no one ever tells. Their worlds are torn apart. They stop caring and do everything to fit in even if it hurts them. They hurt they starve the cut they don't sleep. All because of you. Just to be noticed. Just to go one day with out being teased. Do you even know what its like to be an invisible kid? Because I do.
