Notice them
when they are not paying attention
they rejoice amongst themselves
forgetting you ever existed
for a while, you move around
as a ghost
a shadow amongst the people
who proclaim their love for you
yet they never notice
when you cry blood and tears
yet they never notice
when you smile an empty smile
that you are never fully there
that there is a world inside you
they will never get
and you can never tell them
for then they will notice
and you shall be a pariah.
