I’ve been through it
\nI don’t need it explained
\nI’d like to listen though
\nno judgement here<\/p>\n
In a hallway
\ndark
\ndank
\nlonely
\nHolds the tears of the
\nmany before us<\/p>\n
I’ve done something bad
\nsomething that
\nI said I wouldn’t do
\nNo one seems to care
\nBut I tried to be ok<\/p>\n
I tried so hard
\noh I tried
\nI cried
\nI screamed
\nI tried so hard<\/p>\n
I wait silently
\nbarely breathing
\npatient
\nbut still sure that you’re
\ngoing to yell<\/p>\n
That must have been
\nso hard-
\nto search for someone
\nto listen only to
\nget turned away from<\/p>\n
Bare arms covered in scars
\nsome healed
\nsome fresh<\/p>\n
Do you see?
\nDo you?
\nPlease tell me-
\ndo you?<\/p>\n
Others do-
\nand they shame me
\nevery day for it
\nsneering at my lack of
\nself control<\/p>\n
I understand now
\nmy broken friend
\nyou only cry for help
\nif you believe there’s help
\nto cry for.<\/p>\n
You wanted to be heard
\nNot condemned
\nNot silenced
\nI hear you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
