Have You Ever Poem by Patti Wilburn Haney

Have you ever
felt so small
you felt you had to climb
a thimble to be seen?
Have you ever
felt so silent
you had to scream
for the crickets to hear?
Have you ever
felt so weak
you had to squeeze
to turn the page?
Have you ever
felt so invisible
you had to flash
to catch an eye?
Have you ever
felt so scared
you had to stop
your own flight?
Have you ever
felt so sad
you could drown
in your own tears?
Have you ever
felt so alone
you didn't even
know you were there?
