[ Everytime I Reach Out, I Grasp @ Air ]
[ When I Need A Hand ]
[ Nobody Is Ever EVER There ]

[ Things Are Never Reciprocated ]
[ I Guess That Is Too Much Of An Inconvenience ]
[ & That Seems To Make Something So Simple,
     Complicated ]

[ I Always Have Time For Them ]
[ No Matter The Problem ]

[ When Others Speak, I Always Listen To Every Word ]
[ When I Speak ]
[ It Never Seems Like I Was Ever Heard ]

[ When I Listen, I Look For Ways Where I Can Help Make
     Their Lives Easier, Better ]
[ When I Talk ]
[ No One Listens To A Letter ]

[ I Try To Listen & Then Connect The Dots ]
[ I Help Them When They See Spots ]

[ Nobody Has Time When I Need A Shoulder ]
[ When I Whisper ( HELP ) ]
[ The Room Gets Colder ]

[ It Gets Colder Because There Is A Quick Trot Out The
     Nearest Exit ]
[ I Guess Standing Up For Me Is Not In Anyone’s Script ]

[ I Am A Ghost In The Room ]
[ I Would Not Be Noticed Even On Zoom ]

[ Even If I Called The Meeting ]
[ People Would Only Notice If Someone Was Eating ]
[ While Talking ]
[ Then Leaving ]
