Midnight Tears

Nameless

Names are overrated
Only certain types of people get to have names, the ones that are known
The girls in your school that wear pink and have more friends than you'll ever have
Because you're just the outcast kid, the one that wears black and hides behind a mask

The lonely one

Lonely people don't get names

They're just called "that girl," "that boy," "that kid," "that freak"

You become so jealous of people with names

You wish you could be known the way they are

If you're different your name is irrelevant, because people will just call you what they want to call you

Only the pretty, popular girls get names, and the jocks that follow the pretty girls everywhere

In a competition to see who can get in what girl's pants first

That girl you pass in the hallway, the one with black hair and black clothes
The one that goes home everyday to an abusive family

The one that has a sick mother, the lonely child that has to carry everything at home on her back

The girl that has to fight for her life

She doesn't get a name
She doesn't get to be known

The girl that couldn't take it anymore

The girl that was so lonely and sad that she cut her own wrists and bled out alone in her bathroom
The same girl that you walked by in the hallway but never even gave her a smile

The girl that you didn't apologize to when you ran into her and dropped all of her things on the floor
You laughed and walked away

The girl that didn't get a name
Is the same girl that died thinking she had nobody

All it took was a smile, or a hello, anything to let her know she wasn't alone
But you stripped her name from her and labeled her as a freak, a psycho, a nobody, nameless

The nameless girl that will now never know, she wasn't alone

Because nameless people are the most hurt people
We hide behind masks
Because we can't let anyone know we're hurting

Who would care?
Nameless people are the loneliest people

So flash them a smile
Sit with them at lunch

Let their nameless identity, be somebody again.

You are never alone, you matter. Your name matters. Don't hide your pain,people care. I promise.
