I Don’t Exist

By: Tara Kimberley Torme

In this world

Where I walk amongst

You, talk, socialize

With you, I am

Apart from you.

I hear you make

Plans with others,

Do cool things

Together in front

Of me.

You do not realize

My hurt feelings

I chock back with

Tears of anger, bitterness,

Despair. You do

Not bother to ask

Me to join you

On your cool things.

I want to belong.

But I do not.

You don’t answer my

Texts, email, call me

To see how am I doing

While you have your

Own circle of friends.

I am all alone in

This world. I walk

Amongst you, a

Ghost, unseen and

Unheard by you.

My voice – silent

As a grain of sand

In the Sahara Desert.

In this world

I do not exist.
