i see you
but do you see me
do you really see me
the invisible child
silently screams
dismissed for
another
back burner
charity case
i see you
but do you see me
do you really see me
the invisible child
silently screams
relegated to another
obligatory
"not now honey"
or
"go play"
i see you
but do you see me
do you really see me
the invisible child
silently screams
open your your eyes
see that
adults are
large children
children are
small adults
i see you
but do you see me
do you really see me
the invisible child
screams
everyone gets
the same 24
hour day
it's what we
choose to fill
our time
we choose
to see
only
what we're
looking for
i see you
but do you see me
do you really see me
About the Creator
Beth
When words aren’t enough, poetry finds a way. My poems explore life's mundane beauty, moments that make themselves unforgettable, and also dips it's toes into the philosophical attempting to understand who we are, and where we came from.
