Invisible Lives

Help me—
I’m losing my hold,
and so is the life I carry.

This plea isn’t empty,
this struggle isn’t obscured.
But you walk on by,
each face a silhouette,
each footfall loud as my moans.

I’m submerged in a wave
that cannot bear my weight.
Please,
just one hand,
before I fade entirely.
