About This Quote
This is a poem written by a young teen who suffers from mental illness, seeking empathy from his readers. He asks the question, "Does anybody know how I feel?" He goes on to explain that sometimes he feels numb and sometimes overcome, but most of all he feels hopeless. The question "Does anybody care?" leads the reader down a path of reflection. The author asks if others actually care what's going on with him.
He asks if he has to wear a badge of his scars as a sign that people understand that he has suffered. If people don't understand him then how can they help?
