People feel this way too often. We all have to wake up and realize this is REAL


Poem Artwork

They see my deeds
They hear my words
..... But...
They don't see me

They hear me yelling at them
They hear how upset I am
..... But...
They don't hear me

"You never ask for help!"
They say
...........I beg them
Every day.............
But....
They don't hear me

Why? Why is it
they feel they've done
MORE when they've
actually
done less....

How? Can they not
feel? Gratitude? I've
done my BEST

I'm tired - I'm sore
They say they'll
help - but they ignore
....everything...

And then the straw
that breaks the back
there are no excuses
there is only lack

Well, now you'll finally see
What happens
......When....
You don't see me.

A poem I'm calling for help that isn't there. What a terrible thing to have happened to any individual. Often it is the innocent bystander that is not affiliated with any cause or so-called friend that comes to the rescue.

A stark reality, and you've presented it quite clearly. Unless someone is seriously damaged, being kind and attentive is always possible. In my experiences, empathy is the key. Empathy has no script. It's simply listening and hearing, withholding judgement, connecting emotionally, and making clear to the other the wonderfully healing message of you're not alone. For some, sadly, this is impossible though. Thank you for sharing. Peace.... rlc
