Hey Mommie look at me
‘cause I need to be seen,
that’s my unmasked hearts plea.
Hey Mommie look at me,
see my name on marquee.
Look, I shaved my head clean.
Hey Mommie look at me,
‘cause I need to be seen.

Nice job with metrics, ELS. Starts with the down-beat all the way thru, what is it, Trochaic? This poem is short, but shows energy and heart. It is indeed a Categorical Imperative that we all Be Seen, if not by family, then certainly by others who see our hearts.
This is a 5-star poem! Love the third line.
Your poems are great! Look forward to your first poem book....
Cheers,
Vera
