No One Knows

No one knows nor do they care
mainly
mainly just because
they weren’t there.

Cause it all to be forgotten
Left behind
pages wrote, time sodden
with the tears of those
left behind and forgotten.

Feel

Feeling anger with no remorse
Feel like I’m stepping on
A unproductive, negative course.

It’s not like I will abide
In this state
But for now, I’ll let it ride.

Feel like no one knows
Nor do they care
The hurt they give
It seems unfair.

Yes, I’ll let it ride
And tomorrow, hopefully
Saner minds will survive.

Giving me a better outlook
A better feel
For those who criticize.

In A World Cold

The sun shines bright
In a world cold
To hearts of trolls
Who mask dire tragedy
In the midst
Of something seen
As beautiful and bold.

No one can know
The reason why
Nor do they care
For hearts are living
To not experience
Sadness and despair.
