You Can'T See Me

So    many times    I stand
    right in front                of you,

but      you pass          me     as though
                     I was a          ghost. I     scream
as hard as I can;

                my screams fall           back to          me

like gravity.

You              only see           what your mind
          wants you to see - someone

who            isn't me,

as            I       try to break         through the wall
you've created

in your           mind,
to try and           make you      see Me.....

I chose the title to express how inner true selves sometimes are invisible to the ones we love or hold dear.

Teddy, I really enjoyed this one. Great use of words and the broken lines create gaps in thought that give the feeling of grasping for thoughts and just the right word to convey the message.

Teddy, the reason, I placed your poem, is plain as day. You did rather well keeping to the topic with the invisible state and space.... Congratulations on your Invisible win. I thank you for the entry. I have a blog up, describing the experience of running my first premiere contest. "My first experience was not as easy ... :( DEPRESSION" drop by and enjoy the few I did place. Forever **SKAT**
