You Gave Your Life

[You Gave Your Life To Everyone]

Brittany Arriola

You gave your life to everyone else but no one noticed because you are not unique. At least that is what you told yourself as you backed out into darkness. Invisible child, why do you stand outside in the cold looking inside the window and watch as the world forgets you.

Home was never much comfort they never noticed your presence there. To busy with themselves, your so alone through out it all.

Invisible child, it's okay to cry you know, the shadows cannot hurt you all alone as the world forgets you.

You refused to look back, as you ran out to the street realizing you have no one you buried your head in your sleeve.

Beautiful child, it only hurts a little while. You'll leave this all behind you. One day you might realize, Sometimes the world forgets us all.
