Ignored Poem by Khairul Ahsan

Ignored

Rating: 4.8


When my questions fall flat,
I feel ignored.
When those are swept under the carpet,
I feel ignored.
When words disappear even to acknowledge,
I feel ignored.
You know I have so many reasons to feel ignored.
And when I feel ignored, I feel frustratingly forlorn.
And that turns into anger,
And makes me take a resolute vow never to return.

In many ways I feel EXACLY the same way, it seems there are days, that whatever I do whatever I say, nothing comes out which others here or they just ignore, this leads to constant frustration that just builds and builds and builds until... well the reason I write is because I don't have to deal with Until. All I can say Khairul is that you are not alone, I and others feel exactly the same way. Bang on the subject matter, this poem really touched my heart, thank you for sharing.

Very honest and very human reaction to being ignored. As writers many of us suffer this treatment yet we still write because the art and passion for writing is within us, and that cannot be ignored. A lovely, inspiring write, enjoyed reading it.
