Phantom

September 16, 2009
By Anonymous

I’m shouting for help!
Can you not hear?
Can’t you see my sadness?
My anger? My fear?
I feel like a Phantom,
But I haven’t died.
So why haven’t you heard all the times that I’ve cried?
Can’t you see I’m depressed?
I know that I’ve said it.
But it’s like you don’t hear me,
So I should forget it.
My eyes will get wetter,
Cause it’ll never get better.
So why even try?
I guess I’ll be a Phantom
Till the day that I die.

I have told my family members on multiple occasions that I am constantly feeling sad, but they ignore me.

Favorite Quote:
"I will not die an unlived life. I will not live in fear of falling or catching fire. I choose to inhabit my days, to allow my living to open me, to make me less afraid, more accessible, to loosen my heart until it becomes a wing, a torch, a promise."
