Array ( [sid] => 142438 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Why Should I Care? [time] => 2008-05-17 04:18:59 [hometext] => I wrote this the night I left St. John. I left because I was being abused by a member and felt it was the only way to make it stop as St. John would do nothing to stop it and it wasn't until I lef that I realised they had only said they cared 2use me! [bodytext] => I know I really should have cared but this was written about how I felt.

Why should you care I shouldn’t be alone right now?
I only sat in front of you not so long ago.
My body trembled with fear.
As my eyes watered, with sorrow.

Why should you care if I’m backed into a corner?
You don’t suffer the way I do.
You just pretend they care to use me.
And now you’re annoyed that I haven’t pulled through.

Why should you have listened when I needed you?
I’m not as strong as what I should be.
So I guess you have a right to be annoyed.
I guess you’ve a right to not like me.

Why should I care about what’s happening?
I’m only dropping some thing I enjoy out of fear.
He threatened to ‘cut me into pieces if I tell you’,
So why does it matter I sat in front of you almost in tears?
