Just a Blur.

I’m staring through the window
Watching the world go by
And then I see your face,
I try to catch your eye.
But no one outside can see me
To them I’m just a blur.
Nothing to be seen.
Nothing to be heard.

I’m staring through the window
Watching the world go by
And then I see your smile
It makes me want to cry.
But no one outside can see me
To them I’m just a blur.
Nothing to be seen.
Nothing to be heard.

I’m banging on the window
I try to get outside
Why can no one hear me?
I just don’t want to hide.
I want to be seen.
I want to be heard.
I want to be free.
Is that so absurd?
