No One Cares

No one cares.

I mean it.

Not a single person cares.

How extraordinary is that?

 I don't mean to say that no one cares when 

bad things happen

or when tragedy strikes,

but rather that people live for 

the drama, 

the scandal.

I only ever hear about the highest of highs 

or the lowest of lows.

There never seems to be a celebration of little victories.

No one cares, 

so I sigh 

and 

scroll

   on.

This poem is very touching... I both agree and disagree with your poem..

"No one cares.
I mean it.
Not a single person cares.
How extraordinary is that?" - Why do you expect people to care?. Life works that way.. You have to do what you have to do. Period. You should not expect anything from anyone.. If you wanna love, give all your love to that person... but don't expect anything.. Life will be simpler that way.. You only have to give.. You don't have to keep account of what you have taken back..


"I don't mean to say that no one cares when
bad things happen
or when tragedy strikes,
but rather that people live for
the drama,
the scandal." - Yes, people comment.. They wait for the drama.. the scandal.. They crave for your attention.. The more you struggle, the more they smile.. You have to learn to let go.. You have to stop struggling.. You must accept life as it is..

Another good write :)

The poem was direct and had a honest tone to the poem. Concern and caring is needed. Even if it is a kind words or hello. I believe we must be the kind one. One foot in a quiet stream can create a hurricane of possibilities. Thank you for sharing the thoughts provoking poetry and words.

A greatly philosophical write. A thoroughly agree with this. No one really cares. It's each to their own. Much appreciated Lyss!

I think you hit the points that are true, especially since a lot of people will just say they don't care, but they do.
Good poem. :)
Keep at it. :)
