Never There

She walked through life unnoticed.

She walked the halls unnoticed.
Knowing no one cares.
Reaching out for friends.
That are never there.
She never truly knew.
Why she was alone?
No one seemed to want her.
She never had a home.
Water was her sister.
Taken one dark night.
Fire was her brother.
Always burning bright.
Wind was her father.
Never to be found.
Her mother?
Six feet in the ground.
She’ll walk through life unnoticed.
No one else will care.
They may see her.
But she’s not really there.
She left with her mother.
Many years ago.
No one knew what happened.
No one really cared.
That earth was her mother.
And she was always there.

Author's Note

I hope you liked it. I submitted it in a writing contest two years back and got it published. I think everythings okay with it. I'm not sure my teacher ,who was supposed to proof read it for me, never saw it because well I didn't get the chance to show it to him. I was the only one in his class to enter .

Merry Meet! This poem is beautiful! I love the subtle references to the four elements and the way you've incorporated them into your poem. Is this a Goddess you're speaking of? Brightest Blessings to you and keep writing!

Its a sad read but i liked how you explained her sudden death as her mother did the same...
Also how you encorporated the elements, and how she finally fits with the earth because of this death that she always has under her..
wtg :)
