Forgotten People

Forgotten people
unnoticed daily
with downcast faces
that no one sees anyway

Invisible people
scurry to their houses
unseen by many
unseen by all actually

Cellophane people
hiding their hearts
so no one else hurts them
we see them not

Gershon Wolf Date: 8/17/2020 8:56:00 PM Shades of Beatles' 'Eleanor Rigby,' methinks. Tugs at the heart, Caren. Very meaningfully and eloquently penned. Thanks, Gershon Login to Reply Caren Krutsinger Date: 8/18/2020 2:56:00 PM Thank you Gershon. I have become one.

Quoth Theraven Date: 8/17/2020 8:10:00 AM Caren. This poem 'Forgotten People' a sad reality of people 'hiding their hearts'. To be sure they know how to feel pleasure & pain. How it feels to be on the losing end. Or just to be. -Richard Login to Reply Caren Krutsinger Date: 8/18/2020 2:56:00 PM It is sadly more familiar to me now than it was ever before, now that I have aged, and have thus become "invisible".
