Can You See Me?

Standing on the sidewalk, busy bees rushing here and there
Phones are grasped as their lifeline to connect.
Can YOU see ME?
Do I exist outside the phone, laptop, or notebook?
I am not a hashtag, widget, or social media.
Look at ME and SEE.
Fall down the rabbit hole and discover who I am.
Mirrors in each face
Emotional platitudes, heights unreached…
Woman, Survivor, Victim, Student, Mother.
Can YOU see ME?
Step outside and feel the touch…
Look inside my eyes and not my skin.
Who am I? Today, Tomorrow, Yesteryear…
Where am I going? Where have I been?
Can YOU see ME?
Put down your phone.
No Facebook. No Twitter. No Tik Tok.
Take my hand.
Feel my touch.
Walk beside me.
I see YOU.
