They're everywhere
*
They find me
*

They hurt me

I feel like I'm disappearing
Not physically, but mentally
Why don't they see "Me"?
My friends see "Me"
Why don't they?

I'm just like them
I can see
I can touch
I can taste
I can smell
I can even feel
Why don't they see "Me"?

They laugh when I walk by
They stare when I eat
They even call me names
Why don't they see "Me"?

Their words, are like a knife
It stabs me in the chest
Their action, are like claws
Tearing into my skin till I bleed
Why don't they see "Me"?!

Now, their stabs feel like pokes
Their claws, are nothing more than bites
Like mosquitoes, I swat away at night
They still don't see "Me"

I'm just like them
I can hear them laugh
I can see them point
I can taste nothing
I can touch nothing
I can smell nothing
But,...I can feel everything

Why should I care?
My friends see "Me"
My friends hear "Me"
My friends care for "Me"
why can't they?

Do they try to see "Me"?
Do they even care?
They should try!
They should care!
They should know how I feel!

Why don't they see "Me"?
Because I don't exist
Not physically, but mentally
That's why they don't see "Me"
