Have you

My first blast of poetic energy (probably my last)

Ever feel invisible?
Like no one cares
and the whole world
is ignoring you?

ever have plans
something you looked
foward to but it never
works out?

ever had days
like that? or
weeks, months,
even years?

ever wished that
you were someone else?
that you could close your eyes
and everything would change?

ever given up something
you loved more than everything?
something you worked
so hard for but couldnt do?

ever felt like your heart
was breaking?
like you were drowning
and couldnt get a breath?

ever been alone in
a room full of people?
surrounded by friends
and yet still alone?

ever been so full of
emotion, but unable to
express it aloud to
anyone, anywhere?

Ever given up somethingyou
enjoyed so much that it killed
you to do it but you knew
there was no other choice?
