contest In a world where  I did not exist

sponsor...Silent One

The judgmental world is an empty place where people are unforgiving if you are different based on their failure of humanity I was judged to those who judged I was invisible though in a crowd, no one saw me I cried out, but no one heard me unseen in a world filled with eyes drenched in despair, soaked in loneliness where their feet walked upon my tears the hand I reached out, never taken I was nobody a singular figure obscured without reason or fault becoming a ghostly phantom no one looked upon this burden of nonexistence caused me to melt away without resistance no one saw me go, no one cared no one knew I was there I was...until I wasn't it was a world where I did not exist

Youv interpreted the prompt line as i did too dear frederick. At first. And i must say its the reality for many especially men: to live in a world where one feels unheard and unseen, and feels like their existence means nothing. What a poignant and sincere write that speaks for many that go through this. Misunderstood, abandoned, unseen and lost. Your words are always so well articulated and i feel your poems deeply! Best wishes for the contest! Sending you always light
