Description
Can you see me?Can you find me?
Am I even here at all?
Please speak to me
let me know I'm
not invisible to you
No one else can see me
I'm just a ghost
that only you perceive
I am so lonely on my own,
so desperate for a touch,
a hug, a friend
Just stay with me a while
All I've ever know is loneliness
loneliness
Can you see me?
Can you find me?
Am I even here at all?
Please speak to me
let me know I'm
not invisible to you
I'm drowning here alone
in all the troubles of
the others I've known
Please save me from my
lonely fate and offer
me your hand
Just stay with me a while
All I've ever know is loneliness
loneliness

Well, it makes me feel lonely, you got me there. All the persistent feelings of inadequacy and worthlessness just well up, I like the repetition of a few of the stanzas, especially "Just stay with me a while/ All I've ever know is loneliness/ loneliness", it reminds me so much of the way those feelings tend to play on loop in the head, repetitive and tenacious, just beating it into your mind.

I wrote it as a song, honestly. But it has no mucsic 
That is the refrain, because that's all I want when I'm lonely: arms that will hold me and let me know I'm not alone.
The lines that still speak to me are: "Can you see me? Can you find me? Am I even here at all?" I always kinda feel like I'm there but I'm invisible to everyone...
The piece actually sounds sweeter when it's sung... aside from the second verse needing a bit of rhythm work...
Thank you for taking the time to read it, though. I'm still sad I made you feel lonely...

No, don't be sad at all, I was already lonely when I started to read it,t that's what drew me to it.
I know what you mean about feeling invisible. Myself, people usually see me because I tend to stand out in a crowd, but I never really let them see me. And it's almost like I try to hide on purpose, because I'm afraid of myself, afraid of my emotions. But I'm trying to be more open with it, and it's always lovely to see someone who is as well.

I have my moments... I'm a pretty snarky little thing, honestly, but when I'm in crowds, I move by silently, giving the people who look at me a strange little sad smile and moving on...
I'm a fixer, so I'm very open to other peoples emotions... I just suck at being open with my own... I have three friends that annoys the hell out of, two male ones that will bitch me out for calling myself a burden, and my best friend who can't understand why I don't like myself very much...

"A fixer" , I like that way to put it. I tend to be the same way, it's easy for me to be sympathetic to other people's emotions and to want to help them, but it when it comes to my own, I'm very critical and harsh. I don't know if it's worse when someone else doesn't understand it or when they do and they call you out on it. My husband's always calling bs on me. XD

Sometimes I think it's worse if they understand it... My friends always call me on it, and it can be hard to talk about a lot of my own issues... I've never been comfortable talking about them, and it took me 18 years to learn how to open up about them at all...

Right, and it's difficult to talk to someone else if you don't understand it yourself. But I am, slowly, finding that it's good to open up. Even if it's awkward and difficult.

It's good for me, but it's like a pelvic exams: it's good for you, but that doesn't mean you like it...
