Rating: 4.8


Sick of being ignored.
People's eyes sliding right past me
like I never existed.
Even my friends forget
that sometimes
just sometimes
I need people to listen to me too.
They ignore and neglect
when I ask to speak.
Only want me to listen
not to speak.
Forget that I have problems too.
But,
I'm used to it.
It's nothing new.
I'll be okay,
I'll forgive
even though you won't listen
long enough
to hear this poem.

Wow, that was one of the best poems I've read in a long time, you have a lot of skill. I don't know much about poetry but I do love the repetition you've used there, like 'that sometimes just sometimes' and 'They ignore and neglect when I ask to speak. Only want me to listen not to speak.' One thing though, where you put 'Forget that I have have problems too.' Was that supposed to be 'have had'. I'm not picking flaws obviously, I'm in no position to do that. Just checking. But seriously enjoyed reading that, good luck with future poems. Lee Webber
