I am...
I am invisible,
You never notice me,
I can stand right in front of you,
But still I'm never seen,
I am silent,
When I try to talk I’m never heard,
Even if I scream and shout,
I can never get the right words out,
I am nothing,
When I’m here you don’t notice,
When I’m not you don’t care,
Why do I do this?
I am no one,
You never know my name,
You call me “them†or “you,â€
I don’t think you ever really knew,
I am different,
I try to blend in,
But I still stand out,
My mind is always filled with doubt,
I am a person,
I can feel,
I can bleed,
I can hide my scars,
I am me,
I can’t change,
Even though I’ve tried,
All I can do is hide,
You are you,
You are different,
You are a person,
Looks like you’re like me.
You never notice me,
I can stand right in front of you,
But still I'm never seen,
I am silent,
When I try to talk I’m never heard,
Even if I scream and shout,
I can never get the right words out,
I am nothing,
When I’m here you don’t notice,
When I’m not you don’t care,
Why do I do this?
I am no one,

You are you,
You are different,
You are a person,

The last line really stuck with me. A lot of the poem conveyed the feeling of being lost, alone, and different. Pointing out the similarities between yourself and everyone else was kind of this shocking and abrupt contrast that still bears so much truth, especially in a work that is relatable to many. Nicely done.
Thanks :)
I can definetly relate to that.
Awesome. I can relate to the feeling of being lost in a world that seems so much bigger than anything that I am. Great poem :)
Thanks :)
Interesting poem. Very well written. What does it mean exactly?
I've always had a hard time being social. Sometimes I would try but I still ended up being pushed into the background. And the last part is really about how some people think we're all so different when really that's what makes us all people and therefore the same even with those differences.
