Nobody sees me, cry as I may
Nobody sees me, as I simply fade away,
Nobody hears me, or my pleas in the night
Nobody hears me, as I struggle through this fight
Nobody needs me, until their plate is bare
Nobody needs me, they don't even realize that I am not there
Nobody knows me, or the path that I tread
Nobody knows me, or the pain inside my head
Though nobody sees me, my heart breaks in two
Though nobody sees me, my tears cry out for you
Though nobody hears me, my song I will sing
Though nobody hears me, my voice I will give wing
Though nobody needs me, my gifts I freely give
Though nobody needs me, happiness I continue to live
Though nobody knows me, one day they will
Though nobody knows me, I share myself still.

Great poem Mary! I love how it starts out sad but ends with a hopeful and happy vibe. And you turned it around in a very natural way. Awesome!

The picture this paints. Sounds like a page from my journal/diary growing up, me speaking to my younger self.-
David, thank you for commenting. I can relate to that. This would be something I could take out of my journal at many times throughout life. I am glad that I have stayed my course though. Best wishes to you. Have a great week.

The transition from a felling of sorrow with being unwanted, unnoticed, and irrelevant in the world, to the contrast of the uprising of understanding that the person will still fight for their significance and despite it all, they will still continue being who they are, and shine who they are with their unique frequency that takes someone else, like themselves to hear. Reminds me of Thomas the freight train, the little engine that could. Excellent work Mary. Such as beautiful poem!-
David, I like your interpretation. I love to see how other people see my work. I know what is in my head when I am writing it. It is nice to know what others think and how if at all perspectives differ. Thank you for reading and the support.

It’s wild how even though the world has never been more connected one can still feel invisible. Very thoughtful and well-stated, good structure too.

James, thank you for your words. I agree with you. With so many ways to make connections the truth is there is very little interaction. While one shares words and chats endlessly the physical connection may never be there. I think this is something most people need, in one form or another. Thanks for reading and have a wonderful day and weekend.

Thank you, Tomas. I think this is much the way of life. We all have bad days but we need to see the bright side to make it through. I am glad you liked it. Thanks for the support.
