Can You Not See Me?

I’m here
I’m not invisible

I am
true flesh and blood
Can you not see me?

Am I not worth
the time?

Will your words
be wasted
on one such as me?

I am right here
Can you not see me?

Can you hear
the beat of my heart?
As it cries out
for just a moment
of your time

For you to heal
its
broken
pieces

I’m here
I am not invisible
I am real flesh and blood

Can you not see me?
