No one gives a damn

No one cares how I feel

No one really gives a damn

That inside I am so confused

Incredibly dazed, stunned, chaotic

Not one of my thoughts is in order

Everything’s in disarray

It’s pointless having all these “friends”

Who make you think they sympathize

When really they’re too busy

Dealing with their own shit

To distress about your problems

Whether anyone gave a rat’s ass to begin with

Is far beyond my knowledge

Frankly, I don’t even give a rat’s ass

The world has so many mindless assholes

Wandering the streets

Everyone’s forgotten how to act

Like a truly civilized human being

Finally! Someone gets it right! I've felt this way for years and you express it very well. Everyone's too wrapped up in their own crap to have compassion for others. Great poem.
