I am the background

I am the camouflage

I am blended

I go unnoticed

I do not stand out

I cry out

Nobody hears me

I am muted

Nobody is listening

My voice is silenced

I reach out

There is empty air

Empty arms

I reach nothing

Nobody touches me

I feel much

So many emotions

Brewing inside

Yet nobody tries

To understand

Look into my eyes

Listen to my words

Reach out to me

Touch me

Empathize

Then I would feel valued

Loved

That I matter

Considered

That I make a difference
