#YOWO Poetry Slam
Its as if I’m not here.
As if I’m invisible to you.
But I am here.
I am alive and breathing
Although I don’t know if I want to be alive and breathing.
Your words suffocate me.
I feel like I am drowning.
And all you’re doing is watching from the surface doing nothing.
Why am I so invisible to you?
I thought you loved me.
I thought you loved me.
Don’t say you do and treat me like I am branded with number that have replaced my name.
Don’t say you do when you kick me around like dirt on the stone cold ground.
Don’t say you love me and leave me alone.
What is your definition of love?
Do not over complicate the word when the word can be so simple.
Love is its own context; the meaning derives from the depths of your soul.
Let that definition out, let that breach the surface.
Don’t let that suffocate me.
Because that feeling hurts and burns me from the inside.
I don’t want to be invisible to you.
I want to be the reflection on the water.
I want to be seen.
