Shift and Look In-between

Shift and Look In-between

A Poem by Blake Q Hatfield
"

Just about how of you look close at what's going on with people, sometimes what you might have wrote off is something more than what they want to let you know.

"

I am invisible to you
          Please pay attention I need help
I am invisible to you
          Can't you hear my cries in the darkest of days
I am invisible to you
          Could you take a moment to come to my aid
I am invisible to you
          What can I do to make you see me


Why can't you look upon me
          I need a friend to help me heal
Why can't you see what is right there
          I need love and understanding
Why can't you come by and just tell me hello
          I feel abandoned and unappreciated
Why can't you see
          I want only the kindness I've given


And you are not there
          When I asked for you to listen
And you are not there
          Because you are on your own misery
And you won't answer my calls
          When I was the one who was in need
And you pulled your hand away
          Even after I've taken in all your pain


Could you be more considerate
          I need time to grieve and heal
Could you be more understanding
          I have feelings and emotion
Could you be supportive
         I need a break from this life
Could you a friend
         I can't take this much longer


Resolve and love
         I don't know what more I can do
Live and learn
         I cannot make better that which is not broke
Help and be patient
         I cannot bring quick relief to a long-term issue
And give to others the love you receive
         My helping hand is one extended in vain
Or you find that even the greatest friend will leave
         I am withdrawn with the thought of if you could ever care

Author's Note

Blake Q Hatfield
You can read the indented stuff almost as a separate poem from the non, and vice versa. They are piar together though to fit the theme of hidden meaning. Kinda like when someone says they are fine, but they aren't and you know there's something more to it than just avoidance.
