Again I Go Unnoticed

One day at a time

Is all that I take now

That is all I can afford

Bend it or break it

Thats what she said

And now I am dead

Laying naked on the floor



Give me a reason

Or give me and answer

Tell me why must it be this way?

I want a motive to want to see you

Something to look forward to every day



I go unnoticed as usual

Hiding in the back

Black clouds over my shoulder

The lightening strikes at last

And then I go unnoticed

As if I were invisable all along

My bones are all but sturdy

I'm too frail and too weak to be strong



Give me an answer

Or give me a reason

To get up off of this dirty floor

I could lay here for hours

You wouldn't ever see me

Till I trip you as you leave out the door



I feel unwanted

I feel so ashamed

How could I have loved you

When you play me like a game

Maybe that's all you really wanted

Just another one-night stand

Give me a call so I can answer

Let me list all of my demands



I want you to be happy

I want everything for you

I wish your life had gone so much better

I wish these seasons stop getting wetter

I know you listen but you never answer

Like a long lost knock upon your door

You comprehend but never move an inch

You are just day dreamning again



I go unnoticed as usual

Hiding in the back

Black clouds over my shoulder

The lightening strikes at last

And then I go unnoticed

As if I were invisable all along

My bones are all but sturdy

I'm too frail and too weak to be strong

The thought that crossed my mind when i read the title of this poem on your homepage?

"Never."

I know my attention isn't what you're wanting at.. But know that you are hardly ever 'unnoticed' by me, and definately not by God. Buck up, Bucky...you've gotlots of time, lots of faith, and some pretty damn goof friends...if i do say so myself.

I thought, this poet must be a musican, I can hear the cadance, I can see a tune. I almost didn't read past the one day at a time line but glad I did. Most great songs speak to the familiar and the shared experience. And we do all feel this way from time to time. And as you said in your bio I won't take the work as autobigraphical. Hope everything is still going well for you.
