I'm crying out but I shed no tears Notice me, Notice me Nobody thinks of me Notice me, Notice me    Why do they blame me? Notice me, Notice me    I smile to hide the pain Notice me, Notice me My laugh is loud but can't be heard Notice me, Notice me    When it thunders, I sleep Notice me, Notice me    I eat but my stomach never fills Notice me, Notice me    The world around me screams "Wow!" and I ask "How?" Notice me, Notice me    Love for another...Love for another, does it really exist? Notice me, Notice me    Too busy running, too self-absorbed Notice me, Notice me Everyone around me unable to see Notice me, Notice me    When everything breaks, I'm left to pick up the pieces Notice me, Notice me    Illusions are the prize and me a tear in their eyes Notice me, Notice me    I count 1, 2, 3...You see Notice me, Notice me Last on the list, other things on it first Notice me, Notice me    I walk, I run it matters nonetheless Notice me, Notice me    My roar overflows with words without pages Notice me, Notice me I wink at the bright yellow sun as the birds fly by Notice me, Notice me    Look how high my broken swing touches the sky Notice me, Notice me    Subdued by it all, my stillness keeps me afloat Notice me, Notice me    Why me, Why me Notice me, Notice me    Why not us, Why not us Notice me, Notice me    -Najwa Kareem
