Forgettable as My Two-syllable Name

I am as forgettable as the stones

They lie scattered, unnoticed

I am as diminutive as the ants

They crawl on walls, ignored

—-

I walk the streets and see

Lovely window displays

Rows of flashy cars

Billboards that demand attention

—-

I wish they could see me too

But I’m as invisible as the air

Overlooked in the sea of faces

Forgettable as my 2-syllable name

—-

I wander and ponder

At the core of my insignificance

I weep for my mediocrity

I bleed for my anonymity
