Nobody Cares: A Poem

Care about the hurting in the eyes of others.

122
Nobody Cares: A Poem
Quin Massey

Its black.

Pitch black, slowly waiting for my eyes to shut,

“Forever”

“Saved”

“Worthless”

Racing though my unordinary mind like the shadows of the night,

I began to see my past,

the sweet smell of the grass,

The freezing hands on my neck,

cold as ice,

The sound of screams and cries in the back,

My mind focused on one scream,

The scream of my 11 year old self shaking in fear,

My fingers began to tap on my cold legs as I felt myself unable to breathe, looking straight into the darkness,

I felt myself move on,

The bitter taste of sweat and fear drenched my mouth,

Thoughts of leaving my past raced on…

Things dripping startled me,

Dark, deep, red blood sprinkled on my leg,

My blood.

Struggling to find where it was dripping from,

I noticed it was from a cut,

That depression sliced right through my body,

As I got closer and closer to cease the bleeding of my wound,

I saw words.

The same words Ive tried to ignore my whole life,

“Your fault”

Instantly everything went black.

Everything went away.

Then I realized, it's the same thing that happens every night before I fall asleep,

The most evil, joyous terrifying thing in the world,

My mind.

That nobody cares to understand,

Because nobody pays attention to the hurting in your eyes, or the breaking of your heart,

“Don't talk about it”

“It's not important”

“Stop saying that”

Are the only things people care to say, when you threaten to take your own life,

Because “it's not important”

But we should make it important,

Because isn't the whole world made of separate individual souls?

That nobody cares to understand.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
