Unnoticed

by Elyse H.   Feb 13, 2006


Maybe it's me and my sensitivity
but their actions are taken offensively
Turn my intentions around a different way
and disregard the things I mean to say
Am I that insignificant?

They've done it again, it's priceless
cashed in my two cents
for a dollar of their knowledge
and robbed me of my defense

Scream out loud
for a chance to be heard
talking over voices
that refuse to be disturbed

Sad but true
misunderstood by the things that I do
lend an ear to mend a heart
give too much when the other won't bend
Never taken seriously
I'm made to feel so small

Thoughts fall on deaf ears
Moving on with no regard to the way I feel
Footprints scar the way to my heart
as they walk all over me

Burning up inside
fight the reveal of what I try to hide
cause the smile's fading on the outside
and anger's seeping from my eyes

But then the hurt of their words sneaks in
and the feelings begin to wear thin
and the anger subsides as I cry inside

Fatigued by the encouragement
that my thoughts mean nothing
Tired of the discouragement
of the carelessness that they sing
