I walked through the walls
I was invisible
I stood during conversations
I stayed behind as we strolled
I spoke a word an hour
I laughed to be included
I worked my schedule around their want
I quieted my loud
I would speak
And stare
Waiting for them to answer
Or realize i needed an answer
All i asked was to be noticed.
I wanted to be seen, so i put myself out there.
I asked the mutts, nightly
“who’d like a piece?”
They scurried over
Tripping over themselves
I gave them what they needed
And they forgot about me.
I asked the pigs
“who’d like to stay?”
They sprinted to be at my feet
I'd give them what they needed
And they would disappear
I was careless with one;
I gave important information
He could kill me
I hoped he would.
I was annoyed with another;
He was rude
He disgusted me in ways I could not describe.
Nor did i know why
Could they be hurt?
Yes
Yet
I continue, selfish
I was hurt too wasnt i?
All i want is to be noticed
But i am being seen.
More, i am being watched
So keep watching
Keep calling and texting
Keep releasing
Insulting
Keep hurting
What do I care?
Your eyes are on me
Regardless of where.
