Tomorrow will always be better than today, even if in just the smallest way.


I sit and wait for you
You walk in and
look passed me
you ask
where I'm at
I say right here
you jump out your skin
and say you didnt see me there
I shrug and say
its ok
no big deal

while inside I cry
it's not ok
it is a big deal
won't you look at me
don't you look passed me
please just look at me
I'm so sick of being forgotten
don't you see me
I'm right here
can't you hear me scraming
can't you hear me pleading
please look at me
I'm so sick of being forgotten
so sick of being alone

I lay awake in my bed at night
thinking about the day we had together
and I think about you smile
before you said goodbye
and I wonder
why can't you be forgotten
if only till your next visit

This poem is dedicated to my dad. Who, even though he started me writing in the first place, always seems to leave me forgotten.
