Can They Even See Me
I'm likened to a breeze,
no one ever sees,
always masking my presence
I achieve my evanescence.
Wondering if anyone else feels this way.
Longing for connection, but always turn away.
Is there any depth left in the world.
I'm screaming inside. My hands start to curl,
into fists, knowing no one can sense my desperation.
My need to connect. Social participation,
but no matter the crowd, I'm a leaf in a storm.
Knowing not where I'll land. Future seeming forlorn.
A passerby stops to ask if I'm alright.
Smiling, saying I'm fine. No idea why I lied.
Moving to the side to hide safely in the shadows.
Here is where I thrive, feeling less like the gallows.
Someone please see through me, and notice my plight.
Reach out your hand. Say that it's alright.
Watching all these people, wondering what is on their minds.
Help me I scream, though it's left internally.
I know it'll always be this way. There's no hope left for me....
