The Floater Friend

I guess I'm just that floater friend,
Who floats around in the wind. 
Waiting for someone to catch me,
So I can help the best way I can.

I'll be useful to you when you're bored,
It's okay though,
That's a role I adore. 

Being picked up and dropped off constantly,
Gives me a headache.
As long as you guys are happy,
It's worth the ache. 

I feel like a dying flower,
Which gives its seeds so that others 
can grow.

It's an act that goes unnoticed,
Just
Like 
Me.

Alison A Smith September 17, 2026 at 7:00 PM This free-verse poem has a quietly powerful shape: its loose, drifting lines mirror the speaker’s “floater” identity, while the isolated closing words—“Just / Like / Me”—create a poignant visual fade into invisibility. The flower-and-seeds image gives the piece a generous, aching tenderness, capturing the loneliness of being useful to others while feeling unseen.
