laughing
crying
when will you see the real
me.
standing here
wanting to be noticed
screaming in a crowded room

but no one
looks up

my best may not be
what you want
what you
think i need.

LOVE
my tear stained cheeks waiting to be
wiped
off
a clean slate
a different life
a new
beginning

you want to understand
i know you do

LOVE
all i want
from you
from
anyone
i want to be
seen
heard
touched
ANYTHING


DO YOU HEAR ME NOW?!

probably not
probably
never

I want this piece to touch people somehow and make them open their eyes to people around them.
