Caring

People look at me and what do they see?
A person who does not give a damn’
A person who laughs at others pain
A person who mocks others tears
But do I care?
Of course I care
I would be calling myself inhuman
If I said that I did not
I care.
But I do not care what they think of me
They think I am different
Because I do not care about the same thing
That they do
That I do not wear the same clothes
Or listen to the same music
Or have the same hobbies
But do I care?
Of course I care
If I see a person lying on the street
Hurting or crying
Would I mock them?
I would never do such a thing.
And yet they look at me
And see a person who could not give a damn
Who laughs at others pain
And mocks their tears?
Then I feel my own pain start to grow
And my own tears fall
And what do they do?
Nothing.
Expected?
Of course
They say I could not give a damn
They I laugh at their pain
And mock their tears
And yet all I can do is watch them
Judge me and sneer at me
As they laugh at my pain
As they mock my tears
And watch, 
As they do not give a damn
