Notice me
A group poem by Yashi Brown for The Campaign to Change Direction
VERSE 1
Notice me. My wall of ice melts easily.
~pamby1
Somehow, I can’t utter a sound; I’m muted, my anxiety profound
~tyche
The mime in the box, yeah, that’s me. But, not only am I silenced, this mime is not seen ~YouLoveMenna
A tiny radiance from a distant place, can change how I feel and the look on my face ~Pekkepop
VERSE 2
I can feel its warmth reaching places that I haven’t seen or felt in ages
~ candicej1983
I dance slowly, around this inner sun – my power is within
~ JoeStilez
But I’m spellbound from a smile, catched up by a glance, with a sudden move, from alive into trance
~Pekkepop
Is that light through my pinhole just a mirage.. or a miracle healing for self-sabotage?
~kathryn simova
VERSE 3
What cruelty has the world placed on you – with eyes so sad, and heart so meek?
~Meganambers
What’s in this moment – your personality seems changed? I can’t read your energy – all seems rearranged
~smiley lizard
Then tears come down, as rivers of emotions flow.. And reveal the need to heal a broken soul
~adarra
Take my calloused hand, it’s fought the fight you are fighting. I have won my own battle and have a passion still worth lighting
~Wally Peters
I’m not here to judge you, or get in your way..I’m just here to be with you, if you want me to stay
~G.T.Edwards
VERSE 4
Each of us embodies light, two spirits joined burn twice as bright
~G.T.Edwards
I see your pain that you think is unseen, your life is worth much more than you think
~Victoria N.
Moving forward…now that I have spoken my initiative, what direction is that??
~journeyde
When I can be alone and not lonely; I’ll know…I am finally free
~tyche
VERSE 5
Free to be me, free to exist..the urge to die, I can resist!
~sincerescribe
Oh, for the courage, to reach across the room, to be like a flower – ready to bloom
~tyche
Embrace who you are, take nothing for granted – your peace will grow, from those seeds that are planted ~G.T.Edwards
But if I stumble, promise you’ll employ patience and help me to heal once again
~Aquatopia
Freedom, healing, self-love…Wow! How do we remember? Like storing pictures in the cloud, it comes back when you surrender
~MaidenAt
VERSE 6
The heaviness of your heart keeps you stuck on the ground…your words fall flat in this world full of sound
~Gunslinger1
Some are silenced by judgment…others silenced by pain
~cloudymemories
It’s easy to say.. “there’s nothing I can do”. It’s easy to say..“I’ll call later”. It’s easy to just walk away.
~pamby1
Now we walk together; no longer dwelling in misery, not a “you” or an”I” , but a “us” and a “we”, for every stride I assisted you with I unknowingly helped me.
~ Sunshine
Yes, you noticed me. Things that repelled or scared others, you recognized as pain.
~pamby1
The sweetest expression, of Love one can give, is to give of themselves, so another might live
~GT Edwards
