do you ever feel forgotten?

not the kind of forgotten where people don't remember your name, because people remember my name. i mean the kind of forgotten where people talk to you, hear your words, and see your actions, but they don't see you. they don't see the person you were, the person you used to be, and the person you are becoming. they don't remember (or maybe they don't care) about you and that you are a person with feelings. you may be "fine" and go through each day morning to night like everyone else, but you do experience raw, real, and rough feelings. like everyone else, you struggle too. like everyone else, you deserve to be loved and respected.

sometimes i wish you remembered that.
