Invisible

I have never been understood,
I have never felt seen.
My experiences gave me all these pent up feelings.
People have always said that I’m quiet and calm.
I attribute it to chaos, it's all I’ve ever known.
I lived a life where I wasn’t loved or protected,
I’ve always been independent.
My innocence was taken from me it’s hard to forget it.

I never want anyone to feel how I’ve felt.
To experience the pain I’ve been through. 
So I try with all my heart to see you,

to protect you,
to love you,
to understand you,
to be patient with you, 
to uplift you,

I guess I became the person I needed the most.
