Invisible Corpse

***Well, this is a poem i wrote back in highschool, when i was having a hard time with my parents. Living with a dad who was a cronic depressant, who hid from the world and a mom who had to deal with it wasnt always the easiest.. and i sometimes felt ignored. Having been going through the normal adolescent against... i ended up writing how i felt in this poem... its a pretty graphic one... and one thats pretty harsh but i was also not happy when i wrote it so keep that in mind. i love my parents and would never try anything that i say in it. very deep poem.***

Invisible

is what I am to you

you move along through life

while I stand in front of you screaming

you simply smile patronizingly

and pat me on the head

like that’s all I need from you

I hate you

you how take me for granted

treat me like your trash

trash that you let build up till it explodes

what do I need to do to make you notice

how much I crave your recognition

Should I smash the tv?

Throw out the computer?

Bash in the satilite?

Destroy your priceless belongings?

Would you notice me then?

Or would you just pat me on the head

scold me like a small child and forget I exist

Would you see me if I cut my wrists?

Let the blood stain your precious carpet

would you see me if I took every pill in the house?

And convulse on the floor like a floundering fish

would you see me if I hung myself from the ceiling?

Or would you move along in life

oblivious to my dead and rotting corpse

is this all real

maybe you don’t hear me scream

hear my cry because im not really here at all

I don’t exist

im a figment, a memory

an invisible corpse
