how much do you care?

[Rosie]

fake laughs every day
daddy tickles and i giggle away
he thinks it's real
but he has no idea
that it's forced

the smile on my face
just some teeth glued in place
i don't smile very much
becuase my happiness was
destroyed by a boy
when he decided to touch me

bring myself down
such depression
enough to kill myself
suicide running through my veins
yet, no one calls my name
no one is here
no one seems to care

#*$#, open your ears
let me know that someone is here
tell me you care
show me
does anybody care?
i doubt it.




show me how much you really care.

I felt emotional reading your poem. I felt like I undestood and was there with you. If no one's ever going to help us or show us compassion or understanding, does that mean that anyone cares? If anything, people are so cold. Even my therapists wouldn't take me seriously. Not sure if you've had that experience with therapy of it it's just me, but therapists can be pretty cold and invalidating.

I care, but I know I can't be there. I can only share your pain from a distance. I can't be there to comfort you or truly acknowledge your feelings. Otherwise, we're all still alone in our rooms, maybe also still feeling hopeless and powerless and invalidated and disonnected from those who are physically present with us.
