they do not care

by Antwan Fields - Aries

faint understanding; do they know me?
i sleep under their trees but they shoo me away
i refuse to let go of them, they shake me and then they laugh, as i run away they laugh harder
they don't understand us and they do not care
in a world which they believe that its every man for himself
i'd put gia and lexie ahead and sacrifice 
if there was anyone who would offer, but they do not care
i could say i love you and you'd put your hands over your ears
go ahead! they don't drown out my darkest fear
that i am just a little behind, that everyone believes i am 
slow, to just flow, try to hold on to this heart that is a little bit closer to breaking, and yet those that love to break hearts...what do they care?
