When I Stare at the Wall

I've lost so many hours
Staring at the wall
But did I really lose them
If I knew where they were all

I thought really hard and long
About things that never matter
Then wondered if my thoughts were wrong
And who was right to judge

I'm glad no one can read my mind
A book for my eyes only
If someone peeked into me heart
They'd see that I'm so lonely

I lost the only friend I had
The only one who cared
I made a new friend: being sad
And still nobody cares

I can definitely relate to how you feel. I was in an abusive friendship for 6-7 years, where my best friend was emotionally abusive and pretty manipulative in general of our whole relationship. I felt she was the only one who really cared about me, and then one day, she randomly stopped talking to me. The place I was in after this is almost directly this. It's hard having so many thoughts and nobody to tell them to. All that being said, this is a great poem - especially the fact that it's so relatable. It's great to be able to share that kind of emotion between the writer and reader.
