Comments: "Ignored" Alone, awake, unaltered state. No matter
how I scratch the glass I cannot interact, relate.
Separated, nothing can pass. No one's paying attention, not
even after I tried to ask. There's never any redemption for
the pain of the mask. The pain of lonely, unheeded. Ignored,
forgotten, unneeded. Frustrated enough to want the physical
pain. It can't daunt me. I wish for dark, never to feel
again. Please, make it all unreal. HEY YOU! YES, YOU! I have
needs, too. Fucking talking to YOU! I can hurt. That, you
knew. Hello! Someone, hello! Do not let it all go. Not
again. Such despair, such dark. So bare. Running out of
words, soon left to action. Running out of life. Death is
the attraction. Why live? What purpose? I tire of being
ignored. And anyhow, no one has ever yet implored me to
stay. So why not leave? Leave grief. Leave pain. Leave the
people. Relief. You don't listen. You don't care. Any of
you. This poetry, reaching out. Nothing left to do. You
think it isn't you. Or does that go through your mind at
all? No, I don't think you've a clue. I open my fist and see
only a crumpled soul. My soul. My mind. Trapped in decline.
And here, written on some ancient scroll were the words that
might have been the sign. The words of my heart. The words
no one hears. If it ceased to speak, no one would ever
notice. They don't even notice I'm alive. The mist clears
and nothing is there. They forgot me in Darkness. So perhaps
those I meant to live for don't deserve the struggle I go
through. If they never care any longer, anymore, then so be
it. Ignore me. All of you. You'll be sorry, so sorry. Keep
hurting me. Keep up with your uncaring. One day you'll wish
to love me. But you see, it will be too late. Keep daring.
Because I won't wait for any of you. Dammit, I'll take
myself away, too. Never again would you hear my advice. For
ignoring me, pay the ultimate price. *Copyright 1998, Elven
