Another Shiny

Hey look over there
another pretty thing
another shiny thing
another distraction
something for me to see
something for me to do
something i shouldn't
because i need to focus
concentrate
pay atten....
ooo shiny
(damn it)
you would think this would
be easier then it seems
but you never know
unless you know
then you really know
and the worst thing about it?
when they think you're faking

Am I Still There?

Can you see me?
(This is weird)
Do you even know I'm here?
Do I register in your perception
Of reality?
Do you hear my hopes and dreams?
Do you acknowledge my fear?
Where am I?
I can't even figure out
What I am all about.
I'm screaming,
Can you hear me?
Apparently
I don't exist
except as the pity case
although no one says it
to my face.
I just don't register.
Can you see me?
