I was once like you

Now you claim I do not exist

I blend with the fog or mist

A whisper lost in the wind

A memory slowly fading with yesterday

My laughter an echo

My tears an illusion

My frustration ignored

Can’t you hear me?

I had a name once

That too is lost

Maybe there is

Truly nothing left

Can I even say

I am here now?

You knew me

Do you want to forget me?

Do you want me to disappear?

Can’t you see?

…I was once just like you.
