Horrible … depression…
Word people often hear
But does anyone really listen
Or care if you shed a tear
Does the world care if you’re crying
Or lost your one true love
When you pass a person on the street
And they pretend to lend an ear
Do they really want an answer?
Or to just simply hear
Well right now life is crappy
But I’m doing fine…no fear
Does the woman in the grocery store
Care about your day
Or is she only being nice
And should that be okay
Should we accept that
To some we have false worth
Or should we continue to search
For kindness on this earth
Does a genuine ear exist?
And will it ever find me
Until I know the answer
I sit… and wait silently
