My story is common
As many will not admit
We share an experience
We are not likely to forget
In the shadow of ego
One falls into the abyss
Alone in the feeling
That we are often dismissed
I cannot tell you the pain
When you dwell on the self
The many missed opportunities
We often put on the shelf
I only ask that you hear me
Escape the narcacistic stride
Be fully present with each other
And I promise you I will not hide
An invisible man
I am as I
Left alone in this family
To say otherwise is a lie
We must listen to our children
So many voices still unheard
Mothers, brothers, fathers, sisters
Neglecting the cry for validation
Why must we be so absurd
Ask not from your siblings
What you do not preach
Words are meaningless
Only actions truly count
As we often disregard any speech
