you think there is no one looking.
you think there is no one caring.
you think you are alone.
there are silent people standing in the shadows.
S(We)H(just)A(don't)D(want)O(say)W(anything)S(because)
S(we)H(don't)A(want)D(you)O(to)W(hurt)S(more)
there's no way we can help. if we want to we couldn't.
there's another side to it - we are just standing. silently.
there's a reason we don't speak out.
everyone's screaming out their opinion, based on what you know has been refuted, time and again, from more reliable sources, and you sit in the corner, frantically scribbling YOUR opinion on a old chinese newspaper, because the last time no one cared that you were trying to state your opinion, no one saw, no one bothered.
it's a horrible helpless feeling. especially if you're sitting in that stuffy, dark corner, where no one ever looks.
"it's so cold!" don't they even care that the temperature at MY side is the temperature OUTSIDE?
and you just look forward, they listen to the teachers' pathetic jokes. you're filtering everything the teacher's saying, thinking this is P4 syllabus" then (almost) failing your exams, scoring far below average, just because you didn't listen to all the technically incorrect nonsense the teacher is talking about. then they say it's ok.
it's not. you're caught there, with all the (too slow) people, then you don't listen, and they drag you behind, and they call you a failure.
there's a reason why we're silent. no one ever listens. no one ever cares. what's the use of saying something, when no one accepts it, or even bothers to hear it? it's like the tree falling in the forest - no one sees it, so no one cares, pretends it doesn't exist.
trapped in a world where everyone cares about oneself. trapped, and try to reach out. trapped, and cannot do anything. trapped, where every effort is futile.
it's not like we don't try.
we will remain silent.
for now.
until someone listens.
