About the Poem

I wrote this during a really low time in my life when I was contemplating suicide. Even though I seemed ok on the outside, I wasn't on the inside - I felt lost and alone.

Nearly Unnoticed

by Reese

She is lonely
Even though you can't tell
She is reaching out
For what, she doesn't know
She will continue to sit in silence
And hope that someone may stumble across
Her and all of her emptiness
But they only hope that they do it in time
Otherwise she will have drifted too far
And she may let go
Of whatever grasp of the world she has
As she slowly fades out of the lives of everyone
Nearly unnoticed.

I Voted for this poem becausse it touched me because there are a lot more people out there who feel like that someone like me so im telling you now why i voted for this poem because i dont feel like feeling like this for ever always each and every second of the day im trying not to keep it piled inside me like the person in this poem.

this poem is amazing. It really hit my heart because i'm supposedly one of those kids with everything but in reality i dont have anything. My world is empty and lonely and completely unnoticed. And as your poem says . one day i want someone to just fall upon my life andmaybe try to understand it. Thanks for the amazing poem.
