Unnoticed

I walk to my desk, I clock in, I’m fine

I look around, I nod, I sigh

I hear you, I see you, I smile

You walk by, make eye contact, deny me

I try to talk, I choke, I try again

You hear me, don’t notice anything, uneasy

I look down, regroup, regret

You continue on, like we’ve never met

I want to scream, grab you, make you realize

You walk away, push on, quiet

Can you see ,don’t you notice, me
