Don't Notice

*Too many people hide the pain they feel, and never reach out for help. Be aware and notice the signs, it could save a life. And never, ever think asking for help makes you weak.

I'm sad

I don't want to eat

I don't want to talk

Do I still want to live?

Don't notice my frown

Don't notice my growling stomach

Don't notice my silence

Don't notice my lost spirit

As you wander away

You all wander away

I'm left without help

But grateful, now I won't hurt you

Seeing me like this

I know it would hurt

So I cherish the blindness you show

Never noticing more than I want you to know

Sometimes it's a knife to my gut

And I just want to scream until you see

But I hold myself back

Won't become so selfish

I don't want to eat

I don't want to talk

I don't want to live

This sadness is torture

You don't notice

Never notice, won't notice

That breaks me inside

But it's all that keeps me sane

So please

Don't you dare

Now or ever

Notice my pain
