Ghost
By BrokenAngel
i am a ghost
i float through life
do you see me?
i see you.
laughing
smiling
crying
raging
fighting
hurting
i see you.
but you dont see me.
some special people
they have the gift
they see me.
but some of them
dont want to see
dont want the gift.
i dont understand why
it pains them so much
to notice.
do i, have i, would i, will i
ever hurt you??
no. never.
you dont even take that chance
i think... somehow
you are afraid... frightened
of me. but why?
what have i done
to make you hate me?
is it my beauty?
my laugh or smile?
my tears at night?
the bruises
on my body
and my heart?
what have i done to make you
hate me?
i dont understand
but i will let you alone
leaving you to your own
fear
ignorance
depression
loneliness
worry
and hate.
and though i will not let you drag me down
i will always be here.
i will always see you.
and i hope that you get over it.
accept the gift.

Honestly I think this is one of those types of poems that the viewer can read a part of their own life from. Their own feelings. To me it reminds me of how sometimes, I feel as if everyone looks around me as if i'm not there. Like taking the time to acknowledge my existence would just hinder them. And that only those few people who notice you for who and what you truly are, are the people who really understand what it is that is most important in life.

And that maybe one day, when everyone else slows down to take a look at whats really important. They'll realize what it is that they were really afraid of, and can only hope that you are still willing to be that friend that they might need.

well, I really don't know who the 'you' is, but the way I read it, it was directed at those who look past the voice of the poem.. those who would rather not see, those who harbor anger, and disdain as ways to protect their own insecurities. Keep in mind that those who have less, or covet you or your possessions in anyway, will often be willing to destroy you, just to make themselves feel better in your absence; as if you were the cause rather than the reminder of their own shortcomings. That's what I got from it... and now, you have until nov 1 to get that app in.
