Jay Narain Poet Free verse

Ignore

Insult me, I may get angry,
Love me, I will be very happy,
Hate me, I may love you,
Ignore me, I will be crushed.

I exist, No one sees me,
I wait, everyone sees thru me,
I hope, someone will find me,
I suffer, the pain of being ignored suffocates me.

I speak, No one seems to listen,
I shout, the echoes bounce back on me,
I frown, the anguish chokes me,
I smile, my spirit survives and I live on.

Sotto Poet July 6, 2023 at 12:28 PM Jay, your ability to expertly convey a symphony of human emotions is truly remarkable. I can hear the voice of intellect resonating strongly in your work.

Valsa George July 5, 2023 at 9:27 PM Ignoring one is more insulting than abusing. When people ignore us totally, we feel like we are sinking into a pit of non existence. But whatever it is, we survive everything and live on. Powerfully written dear friend.
