Unseen

Unseen

You don’t see me when I’m the only one

When I reach for the sweet to find sun

Reality striking with the compulsion of tears

This circle of lost where nothing appears

You don’t see me struggling in the crevice of society

Social isolation because there’s nothing in sobriety

Unkind to myself because there’s emptiness within

Cry from invisibility, that torture telling me to give in

You don’t see me pacing the walls of heart break

Well trodden path without destination or brake

No emotion of hope but not quite hopeless lake

Time moves and, terror that it’s life at stake

Deafness or nothingness so to pray is a worthless fake

Stare at empty space with reality a two dimensional take

Am I a person or is this island existence a human insertion?

No answers, for reality and humanity are indifferent deserters
