Here I Am

Here I Am
By Kiowa 6/25/07

I see them walk by
Laughing, running, pushing, playing.

They all have each other
And who do I have? No one.

I stay invisible to them
Up on my perch of darkness.

I’m so different from them
Would I ever fit it with them?

Here I am
Can’t you see me?
I watch you below me
With my sad blue eyes.

Here I am
Can’t you sense me?
My eyes are following
Your every move.

I take a sip of drink
It’s bitter in my mouth.

The TV is on, but muted
No one is there to watch it.

The family is inside
I have vanished from their eyes.

Once I’m gone you
Won’t likely find me again.

Here I am
Can’t you feel me?
I’m not trying
To hide from you.

Here I am
Can’t you hear me?
I munch on crackers
Rather lazily and bored.

Invisible to him, as I am
Invisible to them, so what’s new?

I’m only alive
While you’re with me.

It’s getting colder but
I still wish to hide away out here.

My figure grows darker
But does it look like I care?

Here I am
Can’t you tell me?
I need to hear
Your voice again.

Here I am
Can’t you know me?
I wish I
Knew someone here.

The sun has gone
And the moon is out.

I see the others
Though they don’t see me.

I have become
One with the darkness.

I have finally vanished for good
And that’s how I want it to be right now.

Here I am
Can’t you touch me?
I need to
Feel loved again.

Here I am
Can’t you love me?
I need to
Be saved again…
