Please..

You don't see me sitting near
quietly waiting here
completely unappreciated there
nobody asking where.

I feel invisible most of the time
sequestored away as if guilty
of some unmentionable crime

I can hear you talking
All of your attentions diverted
away from where I am stalking.

Hate and loathing consume me
Why can't I be noticed and admired
why can't any of you see?

When I disappear from here
it will truly be clear
With no one to stare
and equally no one to care.
