I feel like nobody can see me.
No one I know really knows me.
I could talk for days on end, and no one would be listening.
If I were to scream and shout, would somebody notice me?
What would it take for someone to realise that I am even here?
Would I have to go to the extremes?
Or is everything not as it seems?
No one knows what goes on behind closed doors.
But if they were open, would anyone even know?
If there was a bright, white light, somebody would realise, right?
But if I was that bright, white light, would anybody take a second glance?
Or have they already lost their chance?
Their chance to figure me out.
Or is that not what this is all about?
It's time for me to shout.
It's time for me to be heard.
For people to take notice.
But I'm not that type of person.
I don't shout.
I don't get heard.
People don't take notice.
I just live as a shadow in the background of the others with their bright, fluorescent banners.
The others who shout.
The others who are heard.
The others who people take notice of.
The others...who aren't me.
What would it take?
Who would I have to be?
A life full of questions, but not enough damage to be noticed.
I just need to focus.
Focus on what's right.
Focus on who I want to be.
Focus on not caring about what the others think of me.
Focus on trying.
Failing.
Succeeding.
Focus on what's real.
Not on the shadows of the past.
Not on the shadow of who I am.
Focus on the bright, white light.
That's where I want to be.
I want to be lost in the light.
I can't take much more of the dark.
I need the bright, white light to consume me.
All of me.
My whole being.
My whole essence.
Then maybe people will have to notice me.
Or will they turn a blind eye?
Maybe the bright, white light will blind them? And then no one will ever take notice of me...the way that it's meant to be.
Is the darkness my fate?
Will I forever be a shadow in the eye of others?
If I were to scream and shout, in my last fleeting moment, would somebody finally notice me?
Have you even noticed me?
