Existing
April 3
April 18, 2022
Walking, with no footstep.
Watching, without seeing.
Crying, with no sound.
Being, without notice.
I’m here but not really.
You see me but you don’t see me.
You hit me but you don’t notice.
I speak but you don’t hear me.
You scream at me but I say nothing.
You push me but I do nothing.
You hate me but I say nothing.
You exclude me but I do nothing.
I’m here for your benefit.
You call and I answer.
You say and I do.
You ask and I reply.
I’m here but I’m invisible.
You see right through me but I see you.
You walk with sound but I walk with silence.
I’m right beside you but I’m not there.
I cry with no sound so you don’t have to hear.
I speak with a soft tone so I don’t offend your ears.
I do what you say so you don’t get mad.
I’m here all the time so you don’t fall behind.
I’m here but you don’t see me.
I speak but you don’t hear me.
I do but you don’t notice.
I’m here but you don’t care.
I’m just existing.
