Having a kind of... depressed, and bad day. It'll be better tomorrow  


I cried for the first time in a long time today.
After holding in so many feelings and frustrations,
I finally let them slip from my body through tears.
They’re still there I suppose,
But I’d like to believe that they’re not so strong now.
I’d like to believe that anyway.
Unfortunately, they’re still there,
Strong as ever,
And they’ll be there for a while.

No one cares,
No one takes the time to say “I love you,”
Or “have a good day,”
Can’t remember,
The last time I was touched in a caring way.
A hug,
A kiss.
Too much to ask?
Apparently so.

When was the last time someone smiled at me,
Or said they were proud?
I can’t even remember.
I don’t remember holding someone’s hand,
Or just talking about nothing and everything.
I don’t even remember anyone saying anything kind.
I want a hug,
And I want to hear “I love you.”
Does anyone even care?
