The Overlooked

Location

 

Just brush it away, you’ll get over it,

its just a phase, its not important.

But oh how important it is, 

the pain, the anxiety, the self hatred.

 

Just because YOU can’t see it

 doesn’t mean its not there!

Just because I can’t go to the hospital 

to get it fixed doesn’t mean

its not a disease!

 

No its not physical its mental

But it still hurts

I feel empty, I feel worthless

The scars are there even if you can’t see them.

Physical pain hurts less

Than the on going pain inside.

 

Why not end it make it all go away,

You say it will go away

Maybe this is how 

No one seems to care

 

These terrible thoughts are so common

These terrible feelings 

These overlooked things

These things that can be fixed

These things that need to be changed

notice, love, help those that have these terrible awful things.
