I Am Here

I am a ghost. The shell of a person I used to be.

I was happy. Once there had been a smile gracing my lips. But now it is haunting. The ghost of a smile that was once there.

I walk in the shadows, in silence and unnoticed, waiting for someone to regard me. To prove to me that I existed. That I was here. That I am here.

Prompt: Nobody notices the small child as they walk by. They are too engrossed in their own lives to see the youngster who is sitting on the curb.
