No One Cares

by Das'Ja Brooks
(Micanopy, Florida)

She is emotionally unstable
When in sorrow, whom to call?
No one. The world is dark
People around me are nonchalant
To my feelings and to my thoughts
God why is the life that I live so hard?
Please help me through this
Heal my soul of depression
With no way to be strong
Wishing that I had a shoulder to lean on
Someone to cry to when its bad
Whenever feeling down and sad
But coming back to simple reality
No one cares
So why even bare?
Explaining your feelings
Or what goes on in your life?
I feel like a little ball waiting to explode inside.
These are my feelings
I cannot hide
One troubled childhood
Left me torn inside
I just hope the ones who claim they loved me
Accept me on this bumpy ride
Life is hard
But no one cares
