bait

i was hooked

obsessed

for years

you were

my escape

my life

you helped

me

become visible

feel alive

valid

am i

invalid?

the last

time i saw

you

you 

told me

it was all

a lie

i was the fish

hooked

stabbed

through the

mouth

bait

for attention

from everyone

else

a crown

making you 

feel seen

and in turn

i am not

no one

notices the 

fish

so maybe

i am

invisible

maybe

i have been

all along.
