Not Here

in the midst

of all this joy

standing surrounded

by girl and boy

 

they all seem

to ignore

my existence

but they can't anymore

 

I'll jump

and shout

get up and shake them

yell 'what's this about?'

 

they'll be aghast

drawn in a breath

they don't know me

what a mess

 

returning to

my corner

someone else tries

but I warn her

 

it won't change

a single thing

to change to them

so stop your mounring
