The Challenge

They don’t see me with the same eyes anymore,

I doubt they’re even interested.

I just wish they’d dig deeper,

Maybe they’d find what they seek.

“Don’t care about what people think,

Stand tall and just wink.”

How can I, when my happiness

depends on what they perceive?

“Life is a journey, stay strong”

“The good, the bad, it’ll all pass”

I am tired of these clichés now,
But alas tomorrow holds the same fate.

All I want is, to disappear in thin air,

Become invisible, escape,

Since when did it become so hard to perish?

Here I thought surviving was hard.
