When You Want To Be Included But All Of The Others Go For The Expensive Seats
It's like looking into a mirror and finding no-one looking back.
I am here.
Or walking into a room and seeing everyone laughing in their own little groups.
All completely oblivious to your arrival.
I am here.
It’s like your phone not ringing.
And getting no answer when you make the effort to call instead.
I am here.
It’s like smiling at that person you have chatted with before and being completely blanked as they walk right past you.
I am sure I am here.
Or those moments, perhaps, when you want to be included but all of the others decide to go for the expensive seats, even when they know you can't quite afford them right now.
I am here.
I am here.
And even if no-one else notices, I am here and I matter.
