hard feelings [ poetry + vents ]

scream

she screamed out.

she screamed for someone to help her.

but nobody heard her.

they continued their perfect lives,

and ignored her.

she thrashed and strangled.

hoping someone would notice her,

but they passed.

not even batting an eyelash.

do you know why they ignored her?

because she told them she was fine so many times

so that when she broke,

nobody would notice.

but this time she wanted them to notice,

she really did.

she continued to scream,

and thrash,

and cry,

and yell,

and beg,

but nobody heard her.
