Wrong (Free verse) by that_funny_girl
I used to think that if only
every body knew
what my life was really like,
what my hell was really like,
they would all care
and
that
They
would help me.
And would want to help me.
And would want to help me make everything
better.
But now
that I have been living
long enough
I realize
(sadly)
that
I
was
mistaken
(sadly).
Even if everyone knew
what my life was really like
what my hell was really life
nothing would change.
People are surprisingly
immune to the pain of others.
People have a great knack for
closing
their eyes
and
closing
their ears
and
closing
their hearts.
In such a way
that compassion gets stuck in their throats
until they start choking on it
and spit it out, like bile.
