Poem #1

A Conspiracy

Why do I confess
When no one seems to be listening
no I'm not a coward
tell myself not to believe
at the last minute I'm still living
dying but still breathing
the same air you see
questions are here to stay
I will find my way
can't you see I'm not unafraid
only when the world takes interest
must you begin to ponder
what happens when they decide
it's time you done playing this game
Do you too often regret
that your true feelings are eternally buried
fears are cast aside
for now as I speak
all I ask for is please look at me
Why do you refuse to realize
Is my face so hard to read
I'm blazing through your skies
so far from invisible yet you deny
am I still pretending in your eyes
not just a misunderstanding
this time
who is misleading
who is right
