Some of us were always invisible
Some of us made no impression
Teachers just ignored us
We were doing pretty well and
If something seemed a bit off --
Well it was easier to just ignore it
Wasn't it
No problem there.
Not one teacher ever reached out to me
Not one teacher ever tried to solve me
Not one teacher ever saw my pain
Or if they did it was just easier to
Turn just part away.
I suffered. Abused. Horrific. Marks.
No one asked. No one talked to me.
If they had I would have burst in tears
If they had I might have started redemption
If they had I might not be suicidal at sixty one
Some of us were always invisible
Some of us made no impression
Some of us were just ignored
We seemed to be doing pretty well
Some of us weren't
