I laugh, I play, I cry and nothing,
no one comes to comfort me.
When I jump around, just to get a laugh,
they turn around, as if I were the past.
I want to feel the warmth and love,
I want them to look at me and nothing above.
The day will never come,
for I will always be the middle one.
Outside I smile, as though nothing phases me,
inside my soul is crying for the attention that will never be.
The love I feel can never be returned,
for I am the black sheep of the herd.
All grown and on my own,
still no one comes to say hello.
The love I dreamed of that was never there,
I will give to my kids, from those little eyes that stare.

Mommy
I used to beg you for a hug
but you didn't have the time,
You'd shoo at me to go away
like it was such a crime.
So I would
They notice me now
They see how thin I am.
My hair brittle.
My nails splitting.
Now they know I am alive.
They didn't used
by Jon Coe
This pit in my stomach, will not subside
hankering for something, to feed this pride
A plate of you, or a big bowl of my invention
by Olivia Kay
People pass by as if I'm invisible,
Not a kind word, not even a glance in my direction,
Racing by, too busy to notice, too
