Loneliness Poem by Phillip Dodham Cormier

My heart is torn in half
As my eyes water
The world spins on forever laughing at me
People surround me, yet they pass me by
I reach out to touch one
My hand seems to pass through them
I pull it back wondering
Wondering
Wondering if I even exist
Am I just a shadow in this world?
Am I nothing more than the garbage carried by the wind?
Drifting from one place to another not noticed by anyone
Or anything
What did I do to deserve this?
Can this be changed?
I doubt it for nothing I do seems to change anything
I am lost and lonely with no where to go
And with no one who can help me for I am
Invisible
