Invisible Poem by David Lomenick

I see you,
do you see me,
the ugliness that has consumed me,
taken over the beauty that I used to be?
You walk past me,
I say hi,
but you ignore me,
walk right past me.
All day I try to get you to notice my gesture to you,
but nothing will do.
I call out your name,
but I choke on the words.
I don't understand,
you look right at me everyday,
I wave but you see right through me,
what do I have to do to get you to notice me,
jump off a bridge?
I see you,
do you see me,
the ugliness that has consumed me,
taken over the beauty that I used to be?
