See Me


I touch but I cannot feel. I see but I cannot be seen. I speak but I cannot be heard. Numb Absence of Feeling Nothingness That's what I feel like. Displaced I don't belong here. The wind howls Rushes through the buildings of the city Wish I could be swept away Into the air Into Nothingness My Heart My Lungs I wish they would stop. Let the inside match the outside. I smell and breathe in life. I taste and savor the moments. I touch and embrace the day. Where's that smile I used to know so well? That laugh I used to join in with... Let me guide you I'll show you what it means to live. Feel the sun on your skin It's warm, it can spread joy across your face. Sense the wind against your hair You are HERE! Therefore you ARE something. I can hear you I can feel your heart beat It thuds with a purpose It's not the future that matters, But the NOW that matters YOU Matter. Right now, you should live for the moment.
