Read Me First

People always ask me why I act so insensitive
And on the real, it's because I'm so sensitive
My insensitivity is a way to show my anger of what I really feel
I know that's the way a lot of people be expressing their pain
It's either we release it this way or we keep it all inside until we turn insane
I know this way ain't the best way
But it's the best way that I know of
A lot of my anger stems from my childhood
So don't judge, but question 'what went through her life for her to do no good?'
I go to a school where practically everyone stays high
But I know it's not anger, it's pain that underlies
And I don't know why I seem to care so much about people
When people don't give a fuck about other people
And why do I feel pain that is not even mine?
When I already have enough pain that is mine
Cuz I sure as heck see and realize a lot more things than the average person
And honestly I think it's a blessing in disguise
I think God gave me these eyes and this mind so that I can open the eyes of those who are blind
I feel as if it's my prophecy
I don't care if I become a target in society
I promise to you that I will sacrifice my life
And I'll never stop fighting until the end of time

i can really relate to what you are saying. even tho im atheist, so i dont feel that its god thats making me care for others who dont give a shit about me, i still feel like i cant help it. im drawn to others in their time of need, even if i have something huge going on in my life, even if the pain is too much. everyone around me is high all the time, or drunk, or both. im 6 months clean so im not like them anymore, and your poem brought tears to my eyes. great job, and im sorry
