Nevermind Me

Nevermind me
walk on by
I am unimportant
I can never match you
your wisdom
your knowledge
your experience
your enthusiasm
your learning
your opportunity
your life

So please nevermind me
I just want to watch,
I want see what it means
to live
to love
to laugh
to excel
to be respected

Why are you looking at me?
do I make you nervous?
or are you just fascinated?
repulsed by what what you see?
ashamed?
frightened?
do you stare the way a child does at an ugly little bug?

Nevermind me
I just want your life
just that, nothing more
is it so much?
nevermind me -
I love you
