Invisable Poem by mona martinez

when i scream,
does anybody hear?
when i shout,
does anybody care?
people don't seem to see,
everything about me.
when we talk,
do you listen?
when i'm lonely,
would lend a hug?
do i have to be there for me?
or will you be everything i need?
when i'm scared,
will you hold me and tell me it'll be alright?
when i'm confuse,
will you be there to help me through?
tell me you be there!
when my world is filled with pain!
i'm tired of playing this game!
tell me i matter!
tell me you care! tell me what i need to hear!
because i am sick of ending up,
with little choices,
and people without a care.
