I have a lot to say-but not anymore
Lilli Dushane 2007 (Michigan)
I wish people would listen
But apparently I have too much to say
I try to talk to you
But then I’m in your way
I really wish someone would listen
But everyone acts like they care, when they really don’t
I cry myself to sleep,
Because now everything hurts
And I don’t mean physical, I mean mentally it HURTS
Holding myself back, afraid of being cursed
To never have a friend,
destined to be alone
Stuck forever with my pain and heartache
Now my hearts literally breaking
And nothing can ever fix it
Now that I’ve hidden my true self away
I don’t have anything to say anymore
But NOW people say they’ll listen
About this poem
I wrote this poem about my mental health, and how it feels like no one even cares about what I have to say
