i exist

see me

i’m breathing

spent years thinking outside of the box

forgeting to look for what’s already inside

farsight can blind you sometimes

when you never met prying eyes

it’s like looking past your own reflection when you look through the window

it’s faded

out of focus

but it’s there

staring right back at you

while you create wrinkles with your eyebrows

with some distant worries

not even noticing

you exist
