Not Really There

I'm not sure what this is even about.....:), it doesn't remind me of anything...

I stand here,

Never seen, never heard.

Never to speak,

Not one single word.

They needn't take notice,

Or stop to stare.

For if I don't speak,

 I'm not really there.

Author's Note

wierd...do you like the not so clear message though?

I truly enjoyed this poem.
It was short, sweet and to the point..so to say.
Its somewhat reminds me of the saying that kids are to
be seen not heard, except you make a great point that if
you're not able to make yourself heard, your not noticed.
Maybe I'm thinkin to hard for this one but either way,
I liked it youngn.

I chose to take a more literal interpretation of it... you're a ghost. never seen, and never heard. I really enjoyed this poem, it's short but sweet and leaves you thinking. Bravo, and welcome to WC. ^_^

The message is very clear: If you don't speak and stand up for something you believe in, you will not be acknowledged and what you think won't matter.
It could also mean that people don't notice you if you don't speak. They don't take time to come up to you and try to make friends and you are too shy to say anything.
That's what I got out of it. I believe the first interpretation more than the second one, but the moral of the story is basically that if you don't speak, then you're basically invisible to other people.
It really depends on people interpret it. The poem will mean different things to different people.
I like poems that leave their messages open for interpretation.
I thought the poem was very well-written. It was short and to the point and didn't drag on and on and on....
You did have a little typo that I feel obliged to point out.
"I stand here,
Never seen, necer heard."

It should be "never heard"
Again, just wanted to point it out because I'm a spelling freak. :)
Oh, and if I made any spelling mistakes in my review, you can totally just e-mail me and tell me off. :)

Excellent write!!!!!!

'Twas a pleasure to read. ;)
