Reaching Out

I wasn't feeling so I reached out,
You didn't listen well enough.
I tried, I tried so hard.
You couldn't see what was wrong.

I was told to be happy.
You didn't get it,
I can't just be happy it's not like that.
Maybe, maybe if you tried harder.

I fell apart.
I reached out, but not to a person,
The sweet but sharp embrace,
Something to draw blood.

I reached out and got a response,
I can still feel.
It stung, but felt so good,
Cutting through the numbness.

Maybe if you tried harder.
Just shook me a little harder.
Maybe if I screamed louder.
Cried a little louder.

There would be a chance,
A chance of no scars,
The scars that litter my mind and body,
Caused by an unbearable pain.
