You don't see me

You don’t see me
cuz
you don’t see you
you don’t see me
cuz
you don’t want to

no shame in your game
when you look away
preferring artificial light
to the light of day

make up caked up
you are buried alive
taking pleasure in your
suffocated suicide

blinded by fake eyelashes
your vision in jail
a pity looking pretty
ain’t uncommon in hell

a blind man or woman
standing in a broken mirror
is disconnected from reflected
truths s/he cannot bear

you don’t see the trees
seas, bees, or me
having forgotten who you are
and who you’re meant to be.
