You see beneath my skin.
Reaching deep inside,
I involuntarily share myself,
hiding only under glass.
Nowhere to hide,
do you keep what you find?
You don't hear me shout,
with my silent scream,
or notice my body.
Invisible it may seem.

My loud footsteps,
make no noise on the ground.
But I hear them echo,
then shatter back down.
But for me there are no applauds,
no standing ovation for one,
my moment of stardom,
which took so long to perfect,
faded out of sight until gone.

But you are forgiven,
because you don't know who I am.
To you I am nothing,
just dust,
no glitz or glam.
But I carry on regardless,
seeking acceptance wherever I throw.
Waiting for that moment.

When I tell you all where to go.

Kim, this is a very angry poem, as I gather was your intent. So, keep shouting, for I heard you....

I suspect that's going to be a memorable "telling" after you're through biding your time. *S* Lots of anger, lots of strength... well done.

I like how you put in there "you are forgiven" that's powerful, shows a strong spirit.
Good read.
