Let me hurt you

I have stopped asking for help, For the echoes never came. Each plea I sent out into the dark Was met with silence, just the same. I grew tired of waiting for a hand, Of hoping someone would understand. The more I asked, the less they knew, So I built my walls, like people do. Now I carry my weight alone, No more voices, just my own. In this quiet, I’ve learned to stand, Even if they’ll never understand.
