Standing hidden
In the corner
Never seen,
Always passed over.
Anxiously awaiting nobody, A ghost of nothing.
Hardly noticed,
Always watching.
Observations of all things,
From small conversations
To large confessions
Nothing escapes my eyes.
I can stop
And I can stare
But no one will notice
The light, that from my eyes, glares.
I question if
They'd notice
If I vanished
Without a trace.
My large and lonely figure
Ever missing
From the corner
My home, my comfort place.
Unnoticed, but not un-needed
They'd notice my absence
Things would feel off
Like something with no balance.
All I need to do
Is step out of the corner
And into the crowd.
But my solution
Is so daunting
And the people
Seem too loud.
Maybe some other dat
When I am
Courageous and brave.
But not right now.
I'm too afraid.
So in this corner
I will stay.
