I watch you as you stare at me
Looking directly at my fragile body
Laughing at my pain
Swimming in my sorrow
You don't sympathize for me
You don't show any empathy
Just a blank look
You don't care
I have no effect on your life
I'm there
But then again I'm not
Ignoring me is easy at first
Then it begins to get hard
You watch me as I eat lunch with one other person
The pain in my eyes stand out
Bright and clear
It screams at you
Every time you see me
Every time you try to ignore
It's there in your face
Staring you down
You can no longer ignore me
You have to look at me with expression
Show me that you see me
Show me that you care
But I know
Just as well as you do
You don't acknowledge me so I feel better
You do it because you're popular
And you need to feel better yourself
You need to feel like you've made a difference.
