I Dont Exist

If I strain, I can hear the laughter Through my groggy half asleep dream. The sounds of joy and jubilation That I cannot participate in even after Myself in front of them I have tried to redeem The sounds echo in this majestic house, The noise made by young and old alike As I float around aimlessly like a ghost My voice heard like a whisper, as meek as a mouse, Will they notice if I just ride away on my bike?? I try to talk to them time and again, My words are indecipherable Am I an alien to my own kind?? It feels like I'm on a tether of my own making- I am in chains I wish I could break free somehow, and know I am no longer entangled I will break free the chains entangling me

Hi Angie! trying to catch up with some of your posts. This poem talks of being entangled and unnoticed, but fortunately the final line is one of hope and determination. Hope you're doing fine:) // paul
