Ignorance


Why do they ignore me

 

Am I a hairy monster

That enjoys being in the corner of the room

Reads books for fun

Hoping to be noticed by someone

Or even something

 

Am I a giant

That is made fun of

For being so tall

Having a soft and quiet voice

 

Am I random human being

That was born to be a mistake

To ruin everyone’s day

By just stepping in the same room as you

 

If I am none of those things

Then tell me what I am

And tell me the truth because I know that if you do

You will continue to ignore me

Or even worse

Glare at me without me knowing

 

I just want to be fixed!

Hey everyone. Poet and author here. To begin with, my name AM is meant to signify the many mornings I spent on writing my books. In addition, AM is also a name that a friend and I made up for fun when talking about my fictional character crushes (many have been there, am I right?). AM also protects my identity mainly because I can post work without anyone knowing who it is about or why did I write it. In addition, I also post poems on my Instagram account @poemsby_am. I hope you enjoy my poems. Thanks for reading.
