Why

Why don't you listen?
Why don't you care?
You are my parents
Your supposed to always be there

Every time I'm mad
Every time I'm depressed
You just look at me
And cross your arms across your chest

I try to tell you
I try to show you
But you never really understand
And you never follow through

I tell you I need help
I tell you I'm not okay
You say you understand
But then you walk away

Why do you try to ignore it?
When I tell you I'm upset
You say you don't want to hear it
And you always try to forget

Why do you deny it?
Can't you see the scars on my wrist?
When I bother you about it
You ball your hands up in a fist

I just want you to listen
I just want you to understand
Please don't try to deny it
Please give me a helping hand
