Does anyone care?
Does anyone care that I'm drowning in a sea of shamefulness?
Does anyone listen to me when I cry out for help?
Does anyone care to help me from slipping off the edge?

Would anyone care if I was gone tomorrow?
Would anyone care if I gave up?
Gave up on trying to prove that I am more than my past mistakes.
Gave up on trying to prove to everyone in the world who I really am.
Who would care?

Broke.
My heart is broken, shattered in pieces on the floor.
I'm drowning in a sea of sorrow.
But no one seems to care.

Tired.
tired of pretending
tired of trying to prove everything
tired of the pain that never ends.

hurt.
my past haunts me and reminds me that I am not any better than the scum on this cold hard earth.

my heart screams for help.
but where is everyone?
