Want To Be Noticed Poem by Katheryn Foley

Feel like screaming, yelling, or dying,

Can't find the way out of here,

Fear takes over shaking becomes my lullaby,

About to break I push the pillow tight against my face,

And silently cry into my dreams,

My escape of this feeling is not able to be reached.

My cover up is my best friend, pretending to be okay becomes my job,

Driving me insane this drill of life is full of pain,

I don't want to hide behind a secret smile of fragile glass that is going to break any day,

I want my feelings to be exposed, and for someone to notice them,

Instantly pull me out of this burning building.

I can't take this pain, just want to drain these emotions,

Like a train speeding in the wind. please help me someone!

Make my blood flow again, I want to feel alive and noticed.
