A Face In the Crowd

living life day by day 
unheard, unseen, and invisible
no one knows who you are
they all say she's nobody, she's not special
yearning to be known and respected 
you can't change yourself to be who you're not
people will never respect you that way
you have to treat yourself special before anyone else can
among a crowd alone and denied 
denied the right to be somebody 
and confined to just a face in the crowd
