Lately they've been blind

It's like they can't see

Until there's tears

Like they don't care

Until someone's hurt

They don't see it

My family

Friends

Enemies

Worst of all

My teachers

That stings

Send the crying temptation

Up my throat until I have to gulp it down

No I'm not vomiting anything

Anything but my pride

Then I swallow it again

As I wait for the next attack

The next rumor

The next stare

Laugh

Joke

Insult

Everyone says I'm overdramatic

But is a cry for help

Overdramatic
