I thought I took
This lesson to heart
“Treat others the way
You want to be treated”
And yet, though I want
To be noticed and loved
I always try
To take no notice of
The people I haven’t
Been able to meet
My eyes will stay glued
To the ground as my feet
Keep moving ahead
From Point A to Point B
Like a ghost in my mind
Completely unseen
By those who are stuck
In the same boat as me
Imprisoned, but trying
To set themselves free
Perhaps the attention
I seek I should give
For me and for all
Who are waiting to live
