Can you hear me?
Am I visible?
Do you see me?
Will you see me?
Or am I alone?
Is it that?
Do you turn away because of that?
Can you care?
Will you care?
Tell me I'm not alone, okay.
Tell me I matter.
Tell me that I belong.
Don't let me die this way.
Look at me.
Look at me and my ocean.
My ocean of tears.
My ocean of hurt.
My ocean of nothing.
