I’m screaming
as loud as my
aching throat
will allow
please see me
why can’t anyone
see me
maybe I’m not
invisible
maybe I’m a
ghost
maybe I don’t
exist
maybe I’m real
maybe I am
and nobody
cares
NOBODY
CARES!
No one wants to touch me
who would dare
to try and touch
the girl who is not there
I don’t exist
I am not real
I am not here
If I was
you’d see me
If I was
I wouldn’t
be
so alone
I wouldn’t
be so
utterly
alone
and
lost
left behind
lost
and
left
behind
I am
a
ghost
how else
would
you
explain
my words
that fall
constantly
on
deaf
ears
I don’t
exist
I don’t
.
