Tears weigh heavy behind my eyes
When I realize I'm invisible
When your eyes slide right by me
When your ears won't hear my cries
All I want is for someone to acknowledge me
To say hello or wave
All I want is for someone to see me
Just to affirm that I'm still there
Would anybody really notice
If suddenly I weren't here?
If one day I didn't get out of bed?
If I just disappeared?
At night, these thoughts plague me
Making it hard to sleep
In the morning I wake up without hope, without life
Wishing the sick feeling in my stomach
Might someday go away
Just one thought keeps me going:
Maybe tomorrow I'll be noticed
Maybe tomorrow I'll be recognized
But as I slog through day after day
I feel my hope slowly slipping away
