I meet your eyes
You don't even see me
You hardly respond
When I whisper
Hello

Could be my soulmate
Two kindred spirits
Maybe we're not
I guess we'll never
Know

My own mother
You carried me in you
Now you see nothing
But what I wear

People ask you
How I am doing
You smile and nod
Don't let it end there

Put me
Underneath God's sky and
Know me
Don't just see me with your eyes

Take away
This mask of flesh and bone and
See me
For my soul

*alone
This is a poem from the book: 13 Reasons Why by Jay Asher. In the book, the poem was written by the character named Hannah Baker.
The poem really explains what she's going through.
