Neglect
/verb\
fail to care for properly.

.✫*ﾟ･ﾟ｡.★.*｡･ﾟ✫･ﾟ｡.★.*｡･ﾟ✫*.

My throat is raw from all the screaming, from the horrors that life always seems to bring me. The yearning to leave this retched hell
has sizzled into my mind like a violent plague.

But I'm still here,
hating people that are so selfish,
yet a hypocrite is the truth of me,
when all I care about is destroying myself.

I wish someone would care for me,
to do more than to just say
what everyone else says.

Why can't someone just sit beside me?
Why can't someone just smile at me?
Why can't someone just talk to me?

I feel like dust because I'm so lonely.
I always stand out,
yet everyone looks away.
Please just stand beside me
so I don't have to feel so alone.

I've tried to talk about things I was proud of,
but my mother waved it off with an, "I don't care."

I've tried to talk about how my depression is ruling over me,
yet my father tells me that I'm just being overdramatic.

And I tell them,
that I'm not suffering
because I feel sad,

I'm suffering because
it feels like a chainsaw is
carving out my heart,
painfully and slowly.

Like each of my bones
were liquifying into acid,
And they burned,
at my deep wounds with a fire,
like a twisted prank.

All of these meaningless words,
yet I'm still clearly aware,

no one was ever going to help me.
