I just wanna be noticed,
Sat here on the train,
Weekend’s royal rainbows
Still swirling round my brain.
I just wanna be noticed,
For all I do round here.
Endless hours of effort.
Every day of the year.
I just wanna be noticed:
A smile, a nod, or a wave.
I don’t want you to worship me
A thank you’s all I crave.
I just wanna be noticed:
Bring me into your sun.
A lifetime in the shadows
Is not good for anyone.
I just want you to notice me,
I’ve so much more to give.
I just wanna be noticed.
I just wanna live.
Excellent poem! Thank you. So many youth could relate to that today! I hope it raises awareness and causes people to start looking at one another’s needs more.
