Perspective
I have been very independent.
Very to myself.
No one to cry to.
No one to ask for help.
People help me with obvious things though; like homework, essays, and colleges apps.
But not the things that trigger my emotions.
They try though.
They ask me what´s wrong.
I try to explain,
but then I get categorized as a drama queen because I have tears running down my face.
I get told to calm down.
I get told that I am being ridiculous.
Questioning my emotions.
Feeling crazy.
My thoughts haunt me on a daily.
People wonder why I feel alone.
Not because I am.
Just because no one really cares to understand.
