Short poems

Somebody to care

I cry and scream hoping someone will come and help me

Don't you see i'm drowning in my tears

You don't notice my presence

I won't ask for help, I won't risk the danger of looking weak

I need people to help me with all my untamed feelings

I want a shoulder to cry on

All these friends that I have but yet they can't see that im breaking inside

My phone doesn't ring once, not once does anybody ask me if i'm okay

Even my own father won't call me or text me

“Hey I need you” but what about a “I need you” from me

I get left on read like a open book as a response, when will people understand im hurting

I smile and laugh as my mask, Is it convincing enough for you?

All I need is a person that I can lean on

Is that too much to ask?
