Description
She thinks I'm not listening,but I read it somewhere.
And little does she know
how much I care.
I guess I don't speak out the words
or maybe I don't show it.
I'm right here on the other side of the screen.
Sometimes I don't know what these words mean.
Are you okay or faking or falling so fast you can't show it?
But nobody's completely alone
unless they shut themselves off.
Sometimes people are in front of your faces
and sometimes they show up in odd times and places.
But know that you're not alone.
Quietly someone is listening.
And it's just hard to remember when times get so rough
and you've got to be strong and pretend that you're tough,
but there are people around you whose arms are ready to hold you.
Calm down girl.
There's no need to be screaming.
We all hear the cries and maybe we're dreaming up
ways to save you.
To rescue from this life that kills us.
Sometimes we try to be the heroes weβre not.
And everyone fails,
but we haven't given up
This chaotic life is full of these problems.
Sometimes they are nothing and sometimes they're full throttle.
But no one's immune from the disruption they cause day by day
So hold on to something.
Give it all one more try.
Better that you let yourself cry.
Then at the end of this road
we might all turn around
and those who forsake us,
we'll still be glad that we found.
Because somewhere inside weβre all attached
and have learned from the drama.
We think no one's listening,
but if we say it out loud
chances are someone somewhere heard the sound.
Just don't think that we've all turned around and forgot you.

Okay, it's really odd reading this while listening to Vindicated and catching the lil hints of Breathe... but I like.

I love your rhymes in this.

Best thing I've read in a long time (and I've read a lot in the past 2 weeks, despite my lack of comments)
