Overlooked, Overshadowed
By Josselyn Robleto
She’s always overlooked…overshadowed
A wallflower who goes unnoticed…unloved
When she does a right she is overlooked
When she does a wrong she is pounced on by the predator lurking in the darkness
She tries to make herself known
She is just overlooked, overshadowed
Another person who tries to be noticed but ends up cutting a deep hole in her heart
Day by day cutting deeper and deeper
She tries her best to be loved and cherished
She ends up overshadowed, overlooked
No one notices her, no one notices her
…Until she’s gone
*This poem is not based off of my feelings and just represents how some might feel. But remember that you are LOVED and definitely NOTICED. And even if you might feel this way always think of the people that love you.
Beautiful topic to touch Josselyn. This work is appreciated. Keep felling the emotion in the keys.
Love,
Lilly
I remember when you first showed me this poem and I loved it. I wish I could be at least half as great a writer as you are.
