Invisible~

Here is a poem I finished today.



People are not toys,
so easily cast away.
They've got feelings , minds and hearts,
that are hurt by the things you say.
You use your words , like poison darts,
to cause other people pain.
You see the scar, and use your barbs,
to open the wound again.
But, worse than any jagged dart,
is when you turn your head.
You walk right by , see someone else,
as if I was already dead.
I guess being a non-person ,
is what I mean to you,
One day I really will be gone,
it really will be true.
So pass me up, and go your way,
I'll try not to let it show.
How much indifference hurts my heart,
and sears me in my soul.
