Experiences in the darkness-Experiences with the Darkness

Understood

Do you ever feel like
People are staring
Ruthlessly glaring?
But when you look around they look to the ground.
Do you ever feel like you've lost something that can't be found?
Because you don't know what you lost
You just know you had it a few years back
And now it's gone.
Do you ever feel misunderstood?
You don't want to be heard
You want to be listened to.
Do you ever feel like you could disappear
For a couple of years
And no one would care?
The world would keep spinning in its usual way
Every day
There's nothing you can say
To make it change.
Are there times in the night
When everything's quiet
And you're just sitting up in your bed
Contemplating your life?
There's something on your mind
Something on your chest you need to get off
Because when it's there your heart beat feels a little bit wrong.
Do you ever speak just to hear the noise?
Scream just to hear the echo?
Remorselessly lie,
Because you know nobody cares enough
To listen to what you say?
They just nod their heads and walk away.
Every day.
You need someone to talk to
Someone brave enough to listen
Someone who cares enough
To stay up all night, just listening to you speak
Then respond with advice.
That's all you want,
It's all you need
It's all you've ever really wanted
Just to be understood.
