im not home..im not here or there...im nowhere
im nothing more than a ghost to you..a ghost that haunts you..
a ghost that screams in your ear..but you dont hear my crys...
a ghost that stands right infront of you...but you cant see me..why cant you see me?
everyday you walk around..and still havnt noticed that ghost that sits in her dark corner
watching you live and move on with your life without her...
what can i do to make you see that i need you...that im begging you to notice me
what will it take for you to hear me...
what will it take for these tears that i shed for you to stop...why cant you see me?!
why cant you see that im suffering and in pain...
please notice me..please make this bleeding stop and tell me you love me...
tell me how much you care for me tell me how much you need me in your life please
make me into something again..turn me back into a human being...
turn this dark place i live in back into a home...make it here or there...i dont want to be nowhere anymore
im tired of floating in this cold dark space...where i feel nothing
notice me..please

Towards the beginning of this poem where you compared yourself to a ghost gives a very eerie image, because you describe how even though you are trying to get someone's attention you appear invisible to them. This is indeed a difficult and painful situation to be in, but you are not alone, and these feelings helped you to write a beautiful poem.
