Undetected Poem by Trinidad Villafranca

You passed me in the hallways everyday at school.
You heard all my screams you saw all my tears yet
you said nothing and, because you said nothing no
one else could hear my pain. My life has gone
undetected my cries for help no one heard or
saw only you. I practically threw my self at your
feet reaching out to you for help but you simply
walked by me and turned away.
You left me there another cry for help gone
undetected. I looked for something real
something with meaning. Someone who
when I reached out they would reach down
and help me. I turned to you, you turned away.
I turned to the lord and have been saved
to this day. My cries no longer go undetected
instead I help those whose screams go
unheard whose cries go unseen. With the
help of the lord I can reach the undetected
and do the unexpected.
