Why Does It Hurt? Poem by ally lira

when you say how you feel
but nobody bothers to listen,
and they tear out your heart with every word.
when everyones yelling
but nobodys listening
and everyone is hurting inside.
when all of you are crying
but nobody cares
and all of you seek attention.
why does it hurt?
when you think you are happy with someone,
but your parents say no more
and you really like this person.
when you feel complete
but nobody understands
and you want them to be with you
when your hearts ripped out
but you arent answered when you call for help
and nothing heals the place where happiness once thrived.
why does it hurt/
when your always so depressed
but you cant cry anymore
and you need to shed those burning tears once more,
when you rehearse the same smile over and over
but after awhile your the only one thats fooled.
and you cant seem to fool anyone else.
when you hate your past
but thats all people seem to judge you by
and you regret it every single day.
why does it hurt?
