Unnoticed
A lump in my throat,
a ball of fire in my chest,
a river falling from my eyes,
I don't understand why,
a pounding head,
an aching heart,
my limbs are numb,
numb,
I'm about to break apart,
just a fly near your face,
a buzz near your ear,
white noise,
a gentle breeze,
aching to be free,
but no one notices,
tears turn to flood,
fire into flames,
aching heart is silenced in shame.
