Inward Curiousity

Do any of you know me?
Do you even understand?
That I’m different from the outside cover,
And not another speck of sand.

Do you even listen?
Do you hear the words I say?
I’m not the normal girl you think of,
Here or now or any day.

Do you even care?
Am I purposely ignored?
I have so much to say,
But everyone seems bored.

Do you even see me?
Am I invisible to you?
I’m right here and I’m speaking,
But no one has a clue.

This is how I feel,
Not completely seen or heard.
Does anyone else feel this way?
Feel as if they’re not completely understood?
