I Want You to See Me

by

You looked at me

Like I was worth holding

Yet you never

Reached out your hand

You never

called out my name

And I've been waiting

This whole time

I've been waiting

For you to see me

The directness of the lines beautifully expresses the ageless question, why haven't I been seen?
