How Long?

How long until you notice me?
                     until I'm no longer invisible?
                     until I'm no longer unheard?
                     until I find thee courage to be me?
                     until I manage to tell you the truth?
                     until you believe me?

How longer must I wait until I can finally be taken seriously for who I am? Until people stop looking past me, and seeing me as something as I'm not. How long must I wait for someone to free me... to free myself.

I'm sick and tired of waiting.
