Do You Ever. By Helen Doogan

Do you ever feel
Life is no longer for you
When everything that’s black
used to be blue
When everything that was light
has turned so dark
that night became expected
while waiting for a spark
Like a piece of trash
walking one hundred feet
caught beneath another’s heel
crushed beneath their thundering beat
Like a waste of space
equally taking up room
while others could possibly
only assume,
that it’s you
only you could ever feel
what is so disturbed
that you sit alone
along the curb
Waiting for a chance to go by
Catching all the worlds deep sighs
Asking if reality should feel
All along, holding fake as real
Do you ever feel
like there’s no one there
No one to stroke your hair
No one to kiss you, to hold your hand
No one to understand
Do you ever feel like you should hide
No one should see what’s going on inside
Do you ever feel the need to hide?
