My Life

No one listens when I talk
They only hear the words I say,
No one hears me screaming inside
Trying to break away.

No one knows the emptiness
That fills each lonely day,
No one's there to hold my hand
Or guide me when I stray.

No one looks my direction twice
I never cross their minds,
They've created whole new lives,
Forgotten, and left me behind.

They tell me that I'm wrong
But I see it in their eyes,
All these are merely words they say
I know they're all just lies.

No one wonders about my life
No questions are asked of me,
They only ask to benefit them
It's very plain to see.

I give to them
Whatever they lack,
They come and go
They never look back.

They're greedy and selfish
Cold and mean,
Their gratefulness
Is seldom seen.

I make them laugh
And help them smile,
Yet they're killing me
All the while.

My life's a joke
It's one big game,
The loss I've endured
Is too much to name.

These scars are reminders
Of the destruction they've caused,
Of the fragile soul they've left me
And the sense of trust I've lost.

It's getting worse all the time
My faith is slowly dying,
I can't go on forever like this
Laughing to hide the crying.

No one really even cares
Cause if they truly do,
They'd be part of my life
Instead of passing through.
