I Care

No one cares
No one cares
I want to die
I want to live
I am sick of being judged
I am sick of being not noticed
I am always at war with mum
My country is always at war with itself
I have nothing
I have a torn shirt and a bucket with a hole
My boyfriend left me
My parents died
My sister is a bitch
My sister has HIV and I am the only one who can look after her
Hung from a rope at midnight
Starved to death at midnight
