Inconsequential

Inconsequential

Ignored and shunned

In a room full of people.

My feelings are locked inside,

My efforts to reach out feeble.

Sometimes I feel so inconsequential,

Like I don't matter at all.

Why can't I just speak up?

I wish I could break through this wall.

I'm drowning in myself;

My emotions are tidal waves

Waiting to pull me down

I am my own slave.

Does anyone see me?

Can anyone hear my pleas?

I want to be free of myself.

I want to breathe with ease.

This fear will not rule me anymore.

I will dispel this unease

And break free from this undertow.

I will float away on the breeze.
