Do I Care?
I woke up this morning.
What will I do today?
I go to school.
I see people who are
happy, sad, hurt,
strong, weak,
different, same,
loud,
quiet,
invisible.
But do I really see them?
Do I really know what they feel?
Do they see me?
What do they see?
Do I care?
I go home.
The day went fast.
I was happy today.
Did I look happy?
Did people think I was happy?
Do I care?
I go to bed.
My Day in the Life.

This is a song I wrote:
Scratchs
Claws are pulling me from places I can't see
These red marks are killing me
I try to erase and I try to forget
But you won't let me
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chorus:
Yelling the days away
Ringing my ears
Forgetting the promises I never hear
Pushing the fears away, hearing the words
And these scratchs always return
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Turn to my face and hear me say
I hav never treated you this way
The sticks and stones are breaking my bones
But the words are ripping my heart
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chorus
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You can't see me lying here
Thinking my thoughts and crying my tears
Your voice surrounds me whispering in my ear
Telling me lies that I shouldn't hear
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chorus
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The yelling has stopped
The words disappeared
My ears aren't ringing, the world is singing
These scratchs have never returned
No, these scratchs have never returned
Scratchs have never returned...
