I am The Anonymous.
Overlooked and forgotten,
You sit alone in your fragile shell.

I am The Anonymous.
Rarely seen or heard,
You bask in the glow of a few kind words in your direction.

I am The Anonymous.
You want to be asked how you feel.
To actually be listened to would be a small miracle.

I am The Anonymous.
I witness you swallow your truths
And abandon yourself to those around you.

I am The Anonymous.
People see false weakness
And you believe every word.

I am The Anonymous.
I see you listen to them.
And you fall, once again…
