Ghost
I am just an invisible force, a shadow
Only capable of affecting what knows I’m there.
If I were to be ignored I could still do damage,
Wreak havoc,
Make an impact.
Is it worth it?
If I’m not noticed, not recognized am I alive?
Do I still exist?
Some stare right through me to the depth I possess,
To the core of my soul.
I have a soul right?
I don’t know,
It is hidden to me.
The usual implications that derive from consciousness have failed me.
He doesn’t see me.
He doesn’t see my wanting, anxiety, loneliness.
How can I be so lonely in a sea of people,
A crowd of living beings.
I am a ghost, even to myself.

you are a ghost...
hi... this is not a comment, though I just want to write what all I felt while reading this...
yes you are a ghost...everybody is ... I am.
you are the shadow....and you are the light,
you are not dependent on anyone else but on yourself.......
so there is no need for any recognization......you are there... be anyone notice you or not....it never affects your presence...your existance.
nothing is needed...no soul....nothing is needed to proove your being alive....
whom to proove all this.... you are alive.
and you'll always be.
he notices you or not....it is his problem...his mistake...
you are always there.....nothing can fail you.
this crowd of people is nothing...as it was not for always.
you were always there.... you will always be there.... you are a ghost...but you are alive.
you are everything.....just believe. . .
LIVE.
Meaningful
This poem was very meaningful to me. I loved how you wrote it--it was very beautiful and sad. I loved the line "If I’m not noticed, not recognized am I alive?" That is a good question. It makes the reader ponder. Excellent job
Is existing surviving? Is surviving living? Is living what you're doing right now? Or are you just existing?
