I Can't Listen, Even if I Wanted To

It's getting

Harder and harder

To focus

I literally

CANNOT

Sit through

An entire movie

I've tried to

But I lose interest

So fast

I feel lost

I feel scared

And I'm afraid

I won't come

Back to reality

Next time.

I like to drift away

Lost in thought

Talking to my "friends"

Imagining what mental hospital are like

Obsessing over things I really want to do

I can never

Ever stay alert

I try

To focus

To be successful

I try so hard

To do good in school

But I never can.

I'm so tired

So sleepy

So distracted

So willing to die

It hurts to

Participate

It hurts

So bad

I know

My table group

Hates me

Some girls I sit

Next to, they

Believe the rumours

About me

I feel so alone

So desperate

For comfort

I need help

I need someone

Who will listen

And care

And hug me

And kiss my forehead

Somebody to

Listen

And finally

At least try 

To understand.
