No One and No One

Look at me for I am here The lonely life they tried to disappear The broken person with his broken mind I live amongst you but you are all blind Touch my hand and feel my skin I feel like you feel but for me no one feels from within I am skin and bone in physical space Yet my presence is lost in view like I have no face I walk the street alone, no one bothers with me I see you enjoying living a life with a family You catch a glimpse of me in a dark sillohette Just for a second I exist but then you forget I can't live like you, I can't love like you For love forsook my life the day I was born They broke my bones; I never had a home They left me to feed on scraps and filth They beat me when I cried or asked for help Please look at me for I am here The scars on my body will never disappear The war in my mind of life and death The whispered words I only talk to myself Are just wasted breath Look at me for here I am On my knees begging for anything Why walk past me? Why help me feed? For to you who has everything I am no one and no one is me
