The Invisible Child

I often wonder if you see me. Do you know who I am?
I am the one who wonders if anyone loves me.
I go to sleep every night dreaming of you.

Dreaming of what it would be like to love you.
Dreaming of what it feels like to be loved.
Dreaming of what it would be like to know you.

I am starving for your attention.
Do you know how hard it is to be invisible to you?
Am I not good enough to be loved?

We are created to love and to be loved.
Do I not deserve to be loved by you?
I feel an emtyness that I can't seem to fill.

Filling this emtyness means I need your love.
You are called to love me. You are called to help me.
But you still look right through me as if I am invisable.

Is it to hard for you to except that I am out there?
It seems to be easier for you to ignore me.
You seem to be protecting your heart from showing compassion.

How can you know about me but feel as though you are helpless.
Your love should be so overpowering that even I should feel it.
It doesn't matter how far you are, I should feel your love.

I just need you to do what you are called to do.
You are supposed to be a Father to the fatherless. (Psalms 68:5)
By you I should find mercy. (Hebrews 14:3)

You are called to defend me. (Isaiah 1:17)
You are called to speak up for me. (Proverbs 31:8)
You are called to care for me. (James 1:27)

Being loved by you will truly show me what love should feel like.
I need you. I need your love. I need your compassion.
You are my only hope to know what it feels like to be loved.

Be what you were called to be to me.
Don't keep me in the back of your mind as if I am invisible anymore.
I need to feel your love. I don't want to be invisible anymore.
