Poems (2014)

Poetry

Hear Me

You make me feel invisible

and it's not what I'd expect

At least, not from you

I'm shouting

But I don't think you can hear me

If you can, will you let me know?

I'm grasping at straws

I'm gasping for air

Do you just pretend that I'm not there?

I can't keep living like this

My whole life I've been taken for granted

And after all of this travelling, I've gotten nowhere

I don't know where else I'll go

but I know I can't stay here

because my head is pounding

and my lungs are aching

and if you can't hear me now, I don't think you ever will

Do you just pretend that I'm not there?
