I Was

I was kind and I was caring, yet you refused to take notice.

 

I was considerate and I was respectful, yet you refused to take notice.

 

I was good and I was special, yet you refused to take notice.

 

I was athletic and I was talented, yet you refused to take notice.

 

I was smart and I was outgoing, yet you refused to take notice.

 

I was popular and I was accepted, yet you refused to take notice.

 

I was scared and I was alone, yet you refused to take notice.

 

I was tired and I was sick, yet you refused to take notice.

 

I was hiding in the shadow of the mold you created for me and I was overwhelmed, yet you refused to take notice.

 

I was losing my grip and I was slowly falling, yet you refused to take notice.

 

I was here and now I’m gone, maybe, just maybe, you’ll take notice.

The shameful thing is that's when most take notice, after someone has left them. Your words speak with a poignancy, keep writing your ferelings as it does help. Michael
