I Exist

Do they see me 

Do they know I exist

How can I be seen

How do I insist

I'm standing in your view

I watch you overlook

I cant believe the ignorance

mistreatment that's been took

How can you ignore

How can I continue

So tired of drama

filling my life's venue

All I seek is new life

I continue to search

Living in struggle 

treated like a lurch

overlooked under appreciated

Expected to continue

in this world they created

I am miniscule

see me now or notice me later

soon I will exist on more than paper

When I find what I seek 

smiles on the forecast

My life will truly begin 

I hope it will last

until that day I suffer

miserable pains as I internally bleed

stop treating me like this

I am a plant not a seed

acknowledge my accomplishments

treat me like a human being

so many great qualities 

that start with you seeing

me in front of you 

standing here tall

welcome my ambitions

stop trying to make me fall
