All the times you felt invisible
because you thought nobody
cared about you.
Do you wonder if you have
ever made someone in your life
feel the same way?
Gave up asking
how they were doing,
if they were really okay,
just because you always got the same answer.
Kept silent in the face of silence.
Let them push you away.
Made little effort to
nudge the truth
out of their reticence.
Pain can make you
quite blind;
rather oblivious to the
same feelings in others.
Tunnel vision of the soul.
