Is That Why You Care?
Yeah, I was sad when Robin Williams died
I sat there and watched as my whole family cried
But what got me was the outrage that came from his suicide
Yet, nobody cared this much when Lelah Alcorn died
I think it's gotten to where society as a whole
Doesn't really care whether or not you lost your soul
They only care about the money you made
The bills that go unpaid
The ones you left behind because no one even noticed the signs
And it's ridiculous that no one even really cares
Except if you're famous
If you're rich
If you had nice hair
And they hate you if you're different
Some even are glad you died
Because you dressed different and wore clothes that weren't your size
It's disgusting
The lack of attention that the depressed get today
And people wonder why suicide won't go away.
