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.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
