You Can't See ME
You can’t see me
My eyes are closed
So you can’t look into them
Besides, your eyes are closed too.
You can’t touch me
I am out of your reach
And out of my own
Besides, you can’t understand me.
You can’t hear me
All of my throat-rending screams
Are shut up inside my head
Besides, you’re asleep.
You can’t find me
Because I am lost
To myself, and everyone else
Besides, your eyes are still closed.
You can’t see ME
You can’t see the pain
The loneliness
The tears
The sadness
The scars
And then the numbness...
The agonizing suffering that rips at the very core of my soul every single damned day
Over such a simple thing as–
Living...
