Am I real?

Do I exists?
Am I real?
If I am
Why can't anyone see me

Am I a ghost?
For only few can see me
But not for long
And only when they want to

What am I?
I see people look at me
But shake their head
As though the thought of me existing is silly

Sometimes it feels like people walk through me
Sometimes it seems like they literally can't see me
Hear me
Touch me

Am I real?
I can't tell anymore
I can't scream anymore
Or yell for attention

I must simply not exist

Easy to feel invisible. Can be hard to understand. At my age I like private and quiet. Young people need noise and the feel of being alive. A very strong poem. Sometime need to find a place where you feel wanted and needed. A excellent poem.

This is a great poem, many of us feel this way at times, not being seen or heard or feel the touch of anothers skin, sometimes does make us feel invisable.. Beautifully written :)

I feel like that all the time. I usually just try to have something to do. Act like a complete idiot, cuz if no one cares neither do I. I have some friends who come and join on my crazy little adventure of my own.

A feeling of low self esteem, and self worth springs to mind..

Very powerful. There are time when I doubt that I'm real.

EXCELLENT!!! Really described your feelings!

[Rikkevi Rue]

well unfortunately as far as some people are concerned you probably DONT exist...but then that is THEIR perception problem. I like the subject that you bring into discussion though!
