Do you know me?

Yes. I am here.

No. You cannot see me.

Yes. I am here.
No. You cannot hear me.
I'm invisible to your eye.
You only see my disguise.
I'm deaf in your ear.
It's like I'm nowhere near.
You're blind to my beauty.
What's on the inside.
You're deaf to my voice.
That is truly kind.

No. I am gone.

Yes. I am not here.

No. I am not speaking.

For my voice is not clear.

I am not visible.

You see right threw my eyes.

No. You are just deaf.

For I am telling no lies.

You're blind to my soul.

What really lies inside.

You're deaf to my scream.

The scream that I hide.

Because you don't see,

what's truly inside of me.

i have to say that those are good points of view but i did not have any of those things in mind when writing the poem. but you're right, it could be about any of those things. depending on the reader

wow. this blows me away. this is on such a higher level than what else i've read. some mistakes, but wow. this is incredible, kaitlyn.

but. i will say this. i thought it was something more strange, more complex when I first read this poem. i saw something else, or maybe my eyes wanted to see this (because it teased my mind):
Yes: I am here.
No: I cannot see you.
Yes: I am here.

and a discussion between Yes and No. that's sort of what I thought, and then I read through and found it was something completely different. it's still brilliant, and as a poem it accomplishes so much. but that's sort of my big suggestion:
making this into a sort of philosophical discussion of what it is they are talking about.

they are talking about... what exactly are they talking about? this is what the poem comes down to... what does it all mean? honestly... i thought it meant cancer!! the disease! think about that! or it could be about alcoholism. or even violence between a boyfriend and his girlfriend. the anger is always there, the bad feeling is always there.

i hope i've helped :) i'll hear from ya!
