A Framed Photograph

I see you from where I perch Glanced at but unheard
I know how you feel Understand how it feels
To be stationary
Stuck in your own world
And unable to break free
It's watching life
Pass you by
With just a frown or
Just a smile
And letting it go
On its way without you
It's when you keep your hand closed
Never reaching for anything
It's when everyone is moving on
Together but you're left behind
You're waiting to be noticed
But all around you
Everything is unfocused
You're desperate but not attempting
To make a change
To start a chase
Being nothing more than monotone
Have you realized yet
That you've become me?
A framed photograph
There but not here
It's why I understand how it feels
Why I know how you feel
Because you and I aren't much different
Both standing but silent
Forgotten until someone glances our way
Because we'll never make the attempt
