Write a poem that could use this as its title or central theme.
Feeling Known
Feeling known
What’s that like?
I can’t remember the last time
Someone pointed me out
Said I was good
Complimented me
Said I was doing great
Not alone
With no comment
From my mouth at all
Oh no
Not even my friends do that
I have to say something
For them to acknowledge me
No teacher
Talks to me or about me like
I’m great at anything
My parents
Never stop me
To say I’m doing something right
What’s it like
To feel known?
I wouldn’t know
