I Don't Care Anymore

I don't care that
I'll be forever
stuck where I
am. I don't care
that I can't escape
the memories of
how I once had love.
I don't care that
I hide behind
my stupid wall,
and never say how
I really feel.
I don't care that
I can't answer
simple questions
about my feelings.
I don't care anymore.
I don't care that
I'm giving up,
letting go of all
I've ever hoped for.
I don't care that I
don't need anyone
anymore. I don't
care about the people
I may hurt, or if I get
hurt in the process
of protecting myself.
I don't care that
happiness only exists in
fairytales. I just don't
care anymore, at all.
I don't care that I
can't stop crying, and
I feel there's no use
in trying. I don't
care that I can't be
myself, and haven't been
for a long time.
I don't care that I hide
behind lies. I don't care
that truth fallows me,
always one day too
late. I don't care that
I can't tell myself the truth.
I don't care anymore.
I'm giving up, I
can't do this anymore,
so I just don't care
anymore.
