Please See Me

Am I just invisible?

Am I even here at all?

I can see you try to talk to me,

But I'm still trapped behind my walls.

 

I know, I'm a coward fo hiding,

But the pain I've experienced is real.

Are the chains I've bound my prison with

Forever locked and sealed?

 

I've lost the key to lock

Which guards the chest that bears my pain,

But this is only an inward struggle.

No one else can see this drowning rain.

 

I wish that there were someone,

Just one person to see this side

Of the girl trapped within crying for help,

But being drowned out by her own pride.

 

If they would just look a little deeper,

If they would just care a little more

They would see through the cracks within my walls;

They would find a secret door.

 

All they see are the calm waters

Far above my soul's vast sea.

They have no idea I'm trapped and drowning beneath.

Won't someone please see me?


The author's comments:

When you get to that point in life when you've been hurt one time too many and you build walls for your own protection, to keep yourself from being hurt again. But, you become to good at hiding... and no one can ever really see you or really get to know you because you're afraid to take that risk. As much as you want to be entirely accepted for who you are, nobody takes the time to even try to get to know you well enough for you to dare show them that part of your soul.  All you want is to be found by someone, to be seen.

She cuts herself. Never too deep, never enough to die. But enough to feel the pain, enough to feel the scream inside.

I can relate to this so much! I love this! You are a great writer!
