The feeling In your chest Of something pulling it inside of itself Twisting it Twisting it Twisting it Until it bleeds It throbs And it won't stop It won't stop Why won't it just stop?
But do you know the feeling Of just wanting someone to notice To care To heal the wounds or at least tell me that they are able to be healed That a certain amount of care A certain amount of gentle, loving handling will be able to fix it
There is so much broken And it hurts It hurts like hell and no one sees I AM BLEEDING IN FRONT OF THEM AND THEY STILL DON'T SEE
I sit in class Stare at my empty paper Write the same words Over And Over And Over And they hand me a test Or they talk about drama Or they pretend I don't exist (are they even wrong?) When I just needed a hug
I needed to wrap my arms around someone And no longer feel like I was on a different planet than everyone else while simultaneously being directly next to them I want our bodies to touch, Our souls to entangle, And our heartbeats to slow eachother down
And now I hug my pillow
I know I have people who care But they don't see And if they don't see They won't have a reason to hug me
And my chest is still twisted I want it to stop I want it to stop I want it to stop
