||Living but invisible||

Entering the room with yarn and loom,

 Eyes avoid me, like impending doom

"Fetch us tea," their casual plea,

 Reduced to this, it's all they see

My mental health, a tattered core, 

Amidst the yells, innocence I implore

Accused of lies, though I'm not to blame,

 Drowning in sorrow, it's not a game

The tears I shed, unnoticed affairs,

 Stares replace words, empty glares

Begging for help, but none arrive, 

Unable to stand, unable to strive

Alone in the dark, counting each mark,

 I contemplate, lost in the stark

 I surrender, no strength to endure, 

Sick and tired, of that I'm sure

Release me, I plead, from this despair, 

Yearning for solace, for someone to care

Yet, no one appears on the scene, 

Trapped within a blank screen

Ink runs dry from my cup's embrace, 

This is my end, an apologetic trace. 

I've given up, the ink's final sip,

 A silent farewell, from a weary script
