Listening to the world go by,
Knowing what time, it is,
As parents take their children to school,
Excited about their day ahead,
I know they're all there,
Do they know I am here?
Would they care,
Invisible behind the curtain,
Recognising some voices,
Imagining their stories,
Some I have given names,
Now characters on paper,
They share more each day,
Do they know I'm here?
Would they care,
Invisible behind the curtain
Sharing their laughter,
Exciting news announced,
An ear to all their secrets,
Lovers sharing too much,
I hide under the covers,
Do they know I'm here?
Would they care,
Invisible behind the curtain
Beautiful singing on a Saturday night,
Seagulls squawking 24/7,
All lucky to be alive,
Wives moaning about husbands,
Husbands moaning about wives,
Do they know I'm here?
Would they care,
How many are invisible behind curtains?
Beautiful rendition of words in an insightful piece of poetry, well articulated and elegantly brought forth with conviction. The feeling of isolation in a life at its lowest ebb is aptly captured in the poem. Thanks for sharing Sheila.
