You Don'T See Me Poem by A.J. McKinley

You don't know me
Alone I break
Falling from my heartache
From the choices I have made
Yearning for a future
That wasn't meant to be.

But you don't see me
Never to be free
But you don't see me
Silently I weep
But you don't see me
Invisible inside
But you don't see me
So alone...I died

I waited for the moment
When lies became truth
Spinning a web of confusion
My purpose forever shook
Walking that line of madness
My loneliness released

But you don't see me
Never to be free
But you don't see me
Silently I weep
But you don't see me
Invisible inside
But you don't see me
So alone...I died.

The animal of burden
Riots from my shame
Dying in this slow death
My rage still bleeds inside
Knowing you never knew me
Knowing the price to be seen.

But you don't see me
Never to be free
But you don't see me
Silently I weep
But you don't see me
Invisible inside
But you don't see me
So alone…I died.
