A BRAND NEW BETTER WORLD 10-1-2023
I have been dreaming of living in a better world.
The world I know is vastly different than this broken,
torn, cut and lonely world I have been taken up residence in these 60 odd years
of my life
I now grasp how this world I live in can be a
reflection of who I am and not the person I need to be
I can now see how a better world begins with me
I feel
invisible, a lot these days
I sense how unseen I am even when with most people
Please, please, please see me
If you can’t see me
Take the time
Look again
Look longer
Look deeper
Look up
Look down
Look sideways
Look inside out
Look into my eyes
Sit with me
Search my soul
Gaze through my heart, my broken heart
Comprehend how this tiny muscle inside in me, my
heart, yearns to be stitched together
Perceive how this scattered,
shattered, cut, dumped, devastated and distressed existence yearns to be
reached and needs to be whole
Recognize that necessity to be held,
really, really, really tight
Hold me in an embrace, in a fond,
warm cuddle that’s so tight it would ensure my insides won’t slip out
I must be heard
I need to be seen
Hear me
See me
