#ignored
They laugh, hands brushing hands,
Eyes meeting where I am not.
I sit in the empty space between them,
A shadow stretched thin,
Echoing nothing.
I reach,
But my voice curls back,
Ignored, untouched,
A ghost at the edges of their warmth.
I am here.
And yet, I am not.

Is there another girl?
Was I not enough?
How can you not talk to me?
I never heard your voice,
but I can't forget your words.
It's been nine days
and you haven't even acknowledged
that I want to talk
Just tell me if you want to go
And tell me if there's another girl you love
One's that closer to you,
probably in your bed
and not 18 hours away
and who's the complete opposite of me
Is she pretty, kind, **** and everything I never was?
Or i'm overthinking this whole thing.
And you're just really busy.
You swore you love me, but where are the clues?
You sacrificed us to the gods of your bluest days.
Of course I trust you
I just need some reassurance sometimes

When I am silent,
and it’s all said and done,
will you bask in the quiet-
happy you’ve won?
No more complaints
slipping past my lips,
just peaceful quiet
and sometimes a kiss.
Will you be smug
while you rant through the day,
watching me nod along
with nothing to say?
That’s all you wanted, right?
Obedient peace.
An interesting woman to meet,
until she becomes what you please.
Or will you miss my words?
My fire? My song?
Will you miss my ranting?
Will my silence feel wrong?
Will you look in my eyes
and see through the glass?
There’s nothing there anymore-
only what you ask.

The dust piles up
A warning sign of giving up
Dishes,
Not water,
Overflow the sink
A metaphor reaching its own brink
No reason to really bother
No warning sign is enough
For me to choose sober
I'm falling apart
The problems are located back at the start
I'm just an NPC
There's no reason to really see me
But I exist none the less
Ignored beyond my best
If this is a test
I'm set up to fail like the rest

I'd like to say beyond a doubt
there's a place that I have known
residing in my memories
not hurling words, at stone
A wisdom that I garnered
and learned along the road
in my heart and mind
now hurling words, at stone
The silence knows no bounds
I'm the king upon that throne
in thought, and in memory
always hurling words........at stone

They were deaf as I screamed;
Blind, when i couldn't speak;
Angry, when I started to burn;
In flames, as my ashes kissed the earth.
Never saw my terrified mind,
When it was screeching to be free.
At last it was free amongst the flames,
Or so it thought, 'fore it refused to burn away.

I went to bed early
I got eight hours of sleep
But I still don't understand why I don't mean to people,
what people mean to me
I sacrifice anything for the ones
I hold close
They don't care what I lose,
and I'm not often chose
I know they don't ask me to but
I like to show that I care,
I can't help feeling unloved when I'm down and nobody's there
I've thrown away people, and money, and time just to make sure my
people are perfectly fine
But if I speak my mind when
I've been insulted
then I'm disrespectful and
need to **** off then

They always think I'm dumb
That I don't understand,
I don't know what I'm talking about- I don't have a plan
I ask questions if I don't have a clue, so why is it assumed I don't know what to do?
I'm educated, I always got good grades
Why does everyone treat me like I live in a daze?
They double check me- every word that leaves my mouth, I'm never met with equal standing only others doubts

sometimes i feel invisible
either like everyone looks through me
like i'm not there
or like they see my appearance
and don't look further
i am a person too
my identity matters
see me for me
see me in the room
i feel like an outcast
a social pariah
like i'm a wallflower

"I like you!"
I wished to shout,
Something rare, right about.
A spark that burned through.
But I never knew you,
Well, it was for an instant—
We came upon,
I saw you, only you.
(And you never saw me.)
You never saw me,
I was translucent.
A shadow,
A breath between moments.
A whisper lost in crowded hums.
What we could be—
You never thought to oversee
Yet, only I hesitated.
Only I remained reluctant.
Only I remained reluctant.

Having a Voice
Having the knowledge
They don't listen to me.
Why don't you listen
I shout in silence
Oh Why
They hear a whisper
I am standing up for myself.
With every ounce of passion
I fight through the noise.
U will hear me
I'm not to be ignored
I'm breaking down these walls
They say I'm crazy
I am a little insane
I see, I do feel, who even cares
My voice will be heard
They see, but don't feel
I know, I do feel, who even cares
My voice will be heard
Do you know where
I am from?

You read my poetry,
then turned away,
as if the words
had nothing to say.
Each line was a pulse,
it was a part of me,
yet you drift on past,
too blind to see
that my verses ache,
hoping to be heard,
yet silence lingers,
louder than each word.
The ink may fade,
but my feelings remain,
as I laid my heart bare,
was it all in vain?

I speak
Within a squeak
With others around me
So they can hear me
But they do not
Like, they forgot
That I existed
Like, I never coexisted
With them
Like, I'm speaking to a wall
If you're tired of me
Then just say that to me
I'll manage to change myself
Just so I can feel good about myself
Just for you,
Anything for you.

Paint a bitter picture
with a letter full of truth.
Let it be offensive.
Let it be uncouth.
Even if it hurts me
Have your feelings be outpoured
because I'd rather be
rejected
than to simply be
ignored.

Often, but not always,
It feels like talking to a wall.
You do it without knowing,
Like I'm talking to no one at all.
Every now and then,
You may throw in a word.
But you're still not listening,
And I'm left unheard
Maybe I should stop trying,
Keep it all in my head.
I'd rather speak less,
Than be ignored instead.

A shovel in one hand, a seed in another,
I know it'll be a flower, not anything other.
Though, you ask me what it is I think I'll see,
"A flower.", and you say "How can that be?".
I know what I'm planting; but you question it so,
If you're not the one planting it how would you know?
You say I'm wrong about what it'll grow into,
You keep implying and I start to think it may be true.
I no longer show you any of the flowers I grow,
When I did, you refused to see what I showed.
I'll keep them a secret, mine from now on,
It's no longer your place to tell me what I plant is "wrong".

My chin digs a ditch stretchin' miles behind me
My tucked tail has fallen off and lost sight of me
Occupying limbo in the company of ennui
A trait from Eeyores' arced personality
No hospitality
Low fruit hanging heavy
Rots gradually
A middle finger at the ready,
Presented indefinitely,
Squarely into the faceless face of longevity
As it inevitably gets the best of me
And I seemingly seem to be ignoring the complexity
Like it doesn't apply to me
Oh the irony

In the depths of silence, where shadows reside,
A heavy heart, burdened, cannot hide.
Unseen, unnoticed, like a ghostly wraith,
I wander through existence, lost in a desolate faith.
In a crowded room, I fade to gray,
Whispers and laughter, they all drift away.
An outsider peering through misty eyes,
Yearning for connection, but met with empty skies.
Words unspoken, like echoes unheard,
Emotions trapped, stifled, never stirred.
My voice, a mere whisper in the wind,
Aching to be heard, to matter, to rescind.
The world moves on, an unforgiving tide,
Leaving me stranded, unwanted, denied.
Invisible threads bind me, a lonely refrain,
Longing for affection, like a wilted flower in the rain.
I seek solace in dreams, a sanctuary of the mind,
Where I am cherished, accepted, intertwined.
But awakening brings me back to the bitter truth,
That I am but a shadow, lost in the uncaring sleuth.
Yet amidst the darkness, a flicker remains,
A glimmer of hope, a spark that sustains.
For within this void, a strength starts to ignite,
Embracing my worth, pushing through the night.
Though I may feel ignored, unwanted, unseen,
I'll rise above the shadows, where dreams intervene.
For in this vast universe, I'll find my own way,
To shine brightly, even if skies remain gray.

she asked for
a birthday calendar
simplistic in design
quite endearing
nonetheless
to collate
each and every
important date
mark them down
in her neatest
clearest handwriting
she thought that
if she hung it
in pride of place
on the wall
by the kitchen door
her eye would
be drawn to it
each time
she left the room
she would not
forget to send
the appropriate message
of congratulations
and many happy returns
when needed
or expected;
yet although
the calendar may
coincidentally
be showing
the correct month
it has remained
on that page
untouched
ignored or
unheeded
for the past
eleven months

The color clear inspires me –
Because people can see right through me
People can know my emotions by
Just looking at me.
Sometimes negatively,
I feel invisible.
I feel left out,
Like no one cares.
No one wants to mention, or even look at me.
The color clear might be left out,
it can stand out too, like a sore thumb.
Like me;
No one thinks of clear as a color,
Just like some people don't think of me as a person.
No matter what I do,
my emotions can be written on a piece of paper,
Inside of me that everyone can see.
I might not like it,
But people always see it.
People help me though,
I can be glad they see it; Sometimes not.

I see you
you see others
I am an address
not on your list
I, silent
you, short on attention
I, understated elegance
you seek the crumpled and crumbled
I, content
you, bored
I, ever present
but for you always a blind spot
