Me.
Here I am.
Right in front of you.
Screaming
to be heard
loud and clear.
But still you ignore me.
Because I am...
imperfect,
blemished,
ugly,
disturbed,
just not right.
You ignore my pleas
to be noticed
to leave a mark
or even a scar
on this Earth.
Here I am.
Here I am.
Here I am.
I want people to know my name
when I leave.
I want to help
to leave an impression
on those like me.
Screaming.
Salving for attention.
Craving for a different circumstance.
Here I am.
Here I am.
Here I am.
Here I am.
Here I am.
Still nothing.
I am worthless.
Maybe
I will leave my mark
by simply leaving.
Here I am.
Here I am.
Here I am.
Here I am.
Here I am.
Here I am.
Here I am.
Here I am.
Screaming.
Here I am.

The product of teenage angst. I guess this storm will blow over sometime, but for now it still hurts.
