I sit on a page
In cyber space
56 people have read me
In a year it will be 103
In two 234
in four 439

that's 439 chances to be heard
out of those
300 odd did not get it
50 clicked straight out without reading

so that leaves 89

89 chances to be heard

because the 10,000
chances I gave my mum

went unnoticed

Certificate U
Poem
Autobiography

This is a beautiful poem, and I definitely understand your struggle (especially at the end: because the 10,000 chances I gave my mum went unnoticed) as I would understand my own. As Littleditty said, "and of the 89 who heard, what of them I wonder?"... It gives you space to think, and understand yourself, that while they might not have said anything, they heard everything, and they exist out there. Writing of any kind never falls silent, even if that's all you hear. Great poem. :)
