Ghost
I shout and scream,
I thought my friends and I were always a team.
But I was wrong,
I’ve been ignored for too long.
There are no whispers about me,
Can they not see?
I cry every night,
For attention, I seek,
But in the end, all I feel is small and weak.
Hoping I’m noticed,
It has become a wish,
It feels as though everyone thinks I don’t exist.
Maybe I’m a ghost,
Not real or true,
Maybe I’m a ghost,
Am I see-through?
All I need,
Is a bit of recognition,
Forget the meaning of life,
This is my mission.
Please see beyond my disguise,
The feelings and emotions I hide.
I have nothing to confide,
As I live with lies.
Maybe I’m a ghost,
Not real or true,
Maybe I’m a ghost,
Am I see-through?
Maybe I am,
A ghost to myself,
A person seeking,
Needing help.
