Ignored
It’s strange to be alive and yet,
To somehow be ignored
For some event in which so many
Others are on board.
It’s like you don’t exist or worse,
You never did belong
To a group where your connection,
In your mind, at least, was strong.
But feeling hurt does nothing.
You must heed the wake-up shout
And detach yourself from those who sow,
In spirits, seeds of doubt.
For as long as there are some
Who give you love and true support,
You can let the others go
And you will never come up short.
