Notice Me
Your eyes glazed over past me yesterday.
 
 I said hello to you today.
 
 And today, today, you looked through me.
 
 Stop acting like I don’t exist.
 Stop pretending I’m not here.
 
 Because I do.
 I exist.
 
 I’m here, aren’t I?
 I’m standing to next to you, aren’t I?
 
 Please, please, tell me that I am here.
 Tell me that I am flesh and bones, next to you.
 Tell me that I am in the same universe you are in.
 Tell me that you can hear me, see me, smell me, feel me.
 
 Please don’t tell me I’m fading
 
 I don’t want to fade away—
 Tell me I am here.
