No One Sees me!

 

My soul has abandoned me

Voices dark beckon me

Whispers of death promise an end to it all

 

No one sees me

 

Blood runs through my veins

Pushed by a heart that seems so weak

I cry tearlessly burning its burning me

Invisible crevasse scar my cheeks

 

No one sees me

 

My knees give out and I fall

Lavished by thoughts of freedom

Of death….why not

 

                                     No one sees me

 

A voice whispers softly

Words pushing past the pain

 

                                    No one sees you

 

If no one cares who you are or what you do

Do whatever it is you want to do

 

No one sees you

 

Dance in the rain

Till the tantalizing drops subdue your pain

Write a thank you letter

To old lovers and friends no more

for setting you free

 

No one sees you

 

Sing off tune

Write a novel

Who care if it sales

It heals you

Cry when you hurt

Scream from the pain

 

No one sees you

 

Live like you wished you had before you hurt

Dance to the rhythm of the beat

From the sound of life beating you down

Why not?

 

No one sees you

 

 

 

Author's Note

The best advice I can give to my readers is the same advice I give to my teens. Relax! Enjoy life, make mistakes, learn from them and stop dreaming long enough to give you dreams life. Put yourself out there just two feet past your comfort zone…close your eyes and free fall….that’s when you know your living!

An amazing poem revealing through all its lines, the single most meaningful way to live, i.e., to live!

My favourite lines are all, as they are full of the learnings of life! But those that rhyme too, are always close to my heart ...

"Dance in the rain
Till the tantalizing drops subdue your pain"
"Sing off tune
Write a novel
Who care if it sales
It heals you
Cry when you hurt
Scream from the pain"

Truly! We all falter because we do not do things freely and innocently. The sole reason being the fear that we are being looked upon, being teased and commented by people around us. The world would have been so beautiful, if
"No one sees you" ! Very nice write mam! and thanks for sharing :)

You may find somewhat similarity with the idea of "someone seeing us always", in this poem of mine: "People in the Dark" http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/bjgindia/504746/

simply amazing poem with life long advice

[spiritwind]

I've read one poem and I am a fan. I know I shouldn't base this drcision just on one poem but what the heck we only live once and no one sees me anyway. This is so good. Your message is clear and unmuddled by sentimentality and whining. Your poetic voice is taking a strong look at this thing called life and is making a call to arms in the midst of its pessimism. And the spatial arrangement! You have rung my chimes with that. The more you get to know me the more bored you will get of my insanity with spatial arrangement. How good for the rest of us that you have returned to writing. Your title though is incorrect. We see you, we see you clearly, Melody, and it is good to see you.

This is truly amazing! Invisibility has its perks. excellent transition from despair to hope and creativity!

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

I always say do what you want cause you can't please everyone so do what pleases you... who says that someone dancing in the rain is crazy, to me they are living. Excellent words.

I like how it started out hopeless and negative to positive and fearless. Your author's note is true. Great advice, and I am sure from it that you are an amazing mother.

No one sees, they all feel, the edge, the empty, the hollow, the voice rattle can red
taging me inside, I bow down to you in the street so concrete , bent close, the blade of grass brushes palm light on my hand,god light in my head,bent close , no one sees our souls raise up ,prayer lifts the load and raises up my head.Your amazing.

Why are some people seemingly more afraid to be happy than they are to be scared? I love the turn around!! Thank you

I enjoyed the flow and content of this poem.
Interesting way you changed the "me" to "you" and continued.
