They walk on by,
You're in the background, never noticed
They make decisions without you,
Hopping a train to the next station, neglecting to get you a ticket
Left behind, all alone
But life keeps moving
Running at a sprint to keep pace
But you're getting tired, steps getting slower
Dropping farther and farther behind,
Missing increasingly important things
Never able to catch up,
To get a step ahead; always a step behind
Sprinting with sacks full of worries,
Things everyone else hasn't thought of
Leaden with stress and grief
Weighing you down with every step
Just give up, give in
Stop and save yourself
And maybe someone will notice
An emotional poem that speaks a language of reality. I can relate to this poem as probably most of humanity can. You have a unique poetic voice and I love your writing! Nice work!
