*** NEW poem ***

As promised – a NEW poem

Well, not quite new, but the first time I share it.
In this poem I am trying to comfort myself – the one I was when being treated for severe burns.

You don’t notice me
– but I see you
You don’t notice me
– but I see your pain
You don’t notice me
– but I see your confusion
You don’t notice me
– but I see your tears
and wipe them away.

You don’t notice me
– but I see you struggling
You don’t notice me
– but I see you distancing from yourself
You don’t notice me
– but I see you trying
You don’t notice me
– but I see you surviving
a different life on this new day.
