Nobody Cares: A Poem

Care about the hurting in the eyes of others.

Nobody Cares: A Poem
Quin Massey

Its black.

Pitch black, slowly waiting for my eyes to shut,

“Forever”

“Saved”

“Worthless”

Racing though my unordinary mind like the shadows of the night,

I began to see my past,

the sweet smell of the grass,

The freezing hands on my neck,

cold as ice,

The sound of screams and cries in the back,

My mind focused on one scream,

The scream of my 11 year old self shaking in fear,

My fingers began to tap on my cold legs as I felt myself unable to breathe, looking straight into the darkness,

I felt myself move on,

The bitter taste of sweat and fear drenched my mouth,

Thoughts of leaving my past raced on…

Things dripping startled me,

Dark, deep, red blood sprinkled on my leg,

My blood.

Struggling to find where it was dripping from,

I noticed it was from a cut,

That depression sliced right through my body,

As I got closer and closer to cease the bleeding of my wound,

I saw words.

The same words Ive tried to ignore my whole life,

“Your fault”

Instantly everything went black.

Everything went away.

Then I realized, it's the same thing that happens every night before I fall asleep,

The most evil, joyous terrifying thing in the world,

My mind.

That nobody cares to understand,

Because nobody pays attention to the hurting in your eyes, or the breaking of your heart,

“Don't talk about it”

“It's not important”

“Stop saying that”

Are the only things people care to say, when you threaten to take your own life,

Because “it's not important”

But we should make it important,

Because isn't the whole world made of separate individual souls?

That nobody cares to understand.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
