Who Cares?

"Change the Record"
Someone said as voices spin inside my head.
"Can't you see what I'm trying to say?
I use the same words every day".
But no one really listens to me as I sit here in misery.
So smile politely "I'm okay".
Will someone notice me today?
Sightless people pass me by
Don't see those who sit and cry.
Tomorrow may not come at all,
But who cares?

Kathleen, You said it all.......who cares.
Even years on it is still the same. Today people are too materialistic to care about feelings,love and life.

Heartfelt poem.

Well done my friend.

That is a very sad poem poemsgalore and I sincerely hope you feel like you're last line about it too, that is, if it is you, if you know what I mean? 'Sightless people' is very nice and very true, especially in a wider sense, in that, a lot of people in society are unaware of what the 'real' world is all about, blind to it all. Nice works.

Thanks

Don

Pithy and poignant; not a word too many.

Thanks again for your encouragement, again the poem wasn't from my own personal experience - thankfully, but I can see the effects of uncaring people on others. My work with disabled children really opens my eyes to this.
