I Stay Quiet For A Reason

They wonder why I'm quiet...

They wonder why I don't show my feelings...

They wonder why I listen to everyone's problems...

They don't see the scars that I hide and hurt that I have felt...

They don't hear the lies and rumors they have said and spread...

They don't feel the pain that they have caused me...

I stay quiet because no one is willing to listen.

I stay quiet because every time I try to speak, I feel ignored.

I keep my feelings to myself because I just end up getting hurt whenever I tell someone. Whether I'm happy or I'm sad I stay quiet.

I listen to everyone else problems because I know what It's like to be ignored. I know what it's like to feel like you're less than everyone else. I know what it's like when it feels like no one cares about you or your problems...

And I don't want others to feel the same way...

That's why I stay quiet.
