How would you describe yourself to someone who can’t see you?
Am I even real?

I cannot be seen.
I’m unseen.
Probably transparent.
You don’t see me
They don’t see me
I see myself, but am I me?

Can you feel with your eyes, friend?
Touch me with your corneas,
envelope me with your eyelashes
A butterfly’s kiss
Feel my jaw and jagged edges

Feel my feminine lines, feast with your
Snow-white eyes
Do you feel me?
Do you know who I am?
Do you understand me, when you
Touch me with tired hands

You cannot see my eyes
nor my tears
You cannot see what you’ve missed
blind, all these years

Even with open eyes, you still
can’t see me.
Am I tangible?
Am I invisible?
I do not exist.
