Why must I care

Liars

Deceivers

Why be a believer?

You’re just gonna get screwed over.

But then you’re a cynic

Who won’t trust a clinic

Or wish on a four-leaf clover.

If I give you a call and ask you to call back

You just try to avoid my voice.

So I call you and the phone rings and you never answer

Talking to you is not a choice

You tell me your problems and endear my heart

But then I find out the real truth

The problems you told me were meant to deceive

You were lying through every tooth…

I give you my all

You give me your none

Do you even care about me?

Are you even grateful for my selflessness

Or does watching my pain give you glee?

I’m sick of this crap.

I just need a nap.

A nap from the whole human race.

But when I awake

I’ll just have to take

More of your crap right in my face

I can’t just stop trusting

That would be disgusting

I love humanity too much

I care about people

I was raised ‘neath a steeple

I grieve at their sorrows and such

So commence; keep ripping my heart into shreds

Till there’s nothing left for you to rip

Steal it from me; throw it into the sea

I’ll just stay here and wait for my ship.

I can relate to this on many levels, it is a story I am all too familiar with. It is better to express these kinds of emotions in artistic form rather than have them bottle up and explode. Keep up the good work.
