Empty Thoughts

Invalidated

No one gets it

No one sees it

They're too distracted by her pain

Apparently if she's hurting nobody else can

People care about her

I care about her

She has support and love

Whether she realizes it or not

But everytime I open my mouth

I should "shut up"

Because I "don't understand real pain"

And "there are people who have it worse"

But nobody is telling her that

People tell her that they are there for her

And they love her

And they know it's hard

And that they'll do anything for her

I suppose it's just as well

I don't really want help

Or for people to care

I just don't want my feelings invalidated constantly

I don't know how much longer I can keep this up
