HowNotToPoetry

People don't see me

They see that quiet girl

They see that weird girl

They see that dumb girl

They don't see me

People can't understand

When I laugh, I want to cry

When I smile, I want to die

When I whisper, I want to scream

They can't understand me

People can't help

I'm drowning in my thoughts

Banging against my prison

Screaming until my voice is gone

They don't help me

People won't care

That I'm drowning

That I'm laughing

That I'm standing in front of them

They don't care

Nobody does
