Do you see me?
Standing right in front of you.
I am here, speaking and breathing
As you are looking down onto your phone.
Things more important than I.
Friends, colleagues, and endless scrolling
More interesting than I.
I speak of my day, our kids
The words from my mouth are unheard.
My voice is muted as your attention is placed elsewhere.
Do I bore you?
Can you feel my loneliness?
Do you even see me?
