Unheard

Never listened to

we are taught that “ if you have nothing nice to say don’t say it at all “

We are taught to be the bigger person

To silently leave

To hold in our emotions

To let others have the last word to say even if it means we don’t

But what about the ones who do all of this

The ones who hold in every single emotion, tear, cry, anger

What happens to them

For some turn to numb the pain

Some sleep it away

Some party it away

Maybe even the use of drugs

Anything to numb what they are truly feeling

Writing?

Sports?

Eating out emotions

Literally anything

Point is the ones who truly go by that saying are the ones who hurt the most

It’s become imprinted in our brain that if we do respond there’s no point

So we don’t

We simply walk away and don’t bother to make anyone see our point of view

Because no matter how hard we try they will always hear us but not listen
