Angelica Tao Poet Rhyme

I Was Ignored

I always felt guilty for being ignored. 

An entire life of sitting in my bed, bored. 

Is this really all I have become?

A person shaped by ignorance, a person who turns to crumbs. 

As I learned to venture into a new world where help is available-

I can’t help but wonder what my life would be like if I wasn’t disabled. 

I can’t help but feel for the ones who lived a life that they couldn’t define. 

And even though my therapist is kind-

It feels like I don’t have a past sense of self. 

And my future feels just out of reach on a shelf. 

I still have those childlike tendencies. 

That I fear will allow me to be found out- creating new enemies. 

Even though I have learned a new life of where I am restored. 

I sometimes wish that when I was young, I could have come forward.
