Never Know Pain Until Nobody Cares
Imagine you’re alone and there’s nobody who cares
everyone disrespects and treats you unfair
you’re emotionally crushed
living a nightmare
slandered and helpless
no one anywhere
Now imagine you’re accused
of making up stories too
tales for attention overused
so nobody comes through
Bosses bullied now you’re sacked
losing all your friends at work
your friends still believe it’s all crap
can’t explain you going berserk
Now imagine you’re accused
of making up stories too
tales for attention overused
so nobody comes through
Unaware you loved working that job
unaware you were targeted by the boss
months you suffered while friends scoffed
still unaware of what you lost
Now imagine you’re accused
of making up stories too
tales for attention overused
so nobody comes through
I screamed out a cry for help
which nobody took serious
and there I was stuck in hell
ahead of me disastrous
Now imagine you’re accused
of making up stories too
tales for attention overused
so nobody comes through
In their refusal was disrespect
a “usual” annoyance
my cry a cry they expect
a useless nuisance
Now imagine you’re accused
of making up stories too
tales for attention overused
so nobody comes through
My friends this says a lot about me
and everything about you
realised eventually what did you do
made out that you were loyal and true
..... and I just went funny one day,
you’re the victim accused in this poem
bad things about you that I say
a lack of love is all I’m knowing
my whole life this way
Now imagine you’re accused
of making up stories too
tales for attention overused
so nobody comes through
That story you tell of me has surprises
I nicked your bike but I was in Cyprus
saying I’m the one a storyteller
I’m the image in your mirror
Now accuse me of stories too
cry and moan while someone comes through
deal with it like I could never do
then make out you’re the better man too.
To the reader imagining
now imagine you're not imagining
and this is your life
