Can you see me


Can you see me?
Am i insvisible?
Maybe it's crazy to wonder,
but can you see me?i'm trying so hard to keep my head above water,
keep swimming in place
but i feel like i'm sinking
way too fast
can anybody see me?
is everything i scream lost in the crowd?
my throat hurts,
my voice is gone,
i'm so tired of trying to be heard
does anybody see me,
past the smile that i copy and paste each day?
it seems that each time i try again,
it's for nothing.
can anybody... see me?

    My thick skinned feet sing

    if i were to die tonight,
    i wonder how you'd remember me.
    you told me,
    once,
