Unseen, unheard
A ghost to the world
Friends, family, passerbys
All those eyes
Just sliding by

Voice forever interrupted
By those who claim
This is what love is
This is what love is
An unnoticed existence

Not living, not dying
Just barely existing
Tossed into the deep end
When I don’t know how to swim
So tread water they say

Take a deep breath
It’ll be okay
But a deep breath
From the bottom of the ocean
Only works to let the water in

What if I died today
Alone and afraid
Unseen, unheard
A ghost to the world
With my last breath still in my chest
