Summary: A poem on Dawn's feelings on going unnoticed in season 6

Disclaimer: Joss owns it all, I just play.

Am I Even Real

Do you even realize I'm standing before you?

Am I really even here?

I wish that you would see me,

But you look through me like I'm nothing but air

I don't want to go unnoticed

I wish that someone would care

Yet when I speak, no one seems to hear

I scream, I cry, still no one listens

The pain I feel deep runs deeper than they could ever know

Monks gave me life, they put me here

Maybe they forgot to make me real

Mystical energy, is that all that I am

If I reach out to you, will you take my hand?

Will you pull me out before I go under?

Will you even see me drowning?

I want to be real, flesh and blood like the rest

I wonder why I can't be like them?

Why can't anyone just tell me?

Am I even real?
