Francine Pangelinan Poems

You never ask me about what I think
What am I saying you never ask me about anything
You always assume that I’d go with it
You think I’d be happy to do it but no I don’t like it not even a little bit
...

Where are the dad’s that actually care?
Where are the mom’s that want to be there?
Where are the parents that love you for who you are?
Why is it that every time I leave I never get too far
...

Don’t you see me?
Can’t you hear me?
Why am I invisible to you?
Everything that I do
...

I don’t know if I can sing out there
How many times have I choked up there?
My nerves just keep beating me
I can be so shy without even noticing
...
