Can You

By Manogna Boppudi

Can someone for once fight for me instead?

Its exhausting to constantly fight to be noticeable,

Can you at least be clear to not care?

Because I am tired of this hide and seek,

Can you ask my likes and dislikes?

Its embarrassing to not know about myself,

Can you pay attention to me?

Because I think I am not fine,

Can you be there for me?

Its saddening to not have an assurance,

Can you care for me?

Because it is getting hard being alone,

Can you?
