I Know How To Be Invisible

I know how to be invisible- To sit by the wayside like A shadow, like a trick of the light- Eyes pass over me without seeing, Without asking why I am here; Fight or flight was always foolish- I learned how to disappear. Like a crack on the ceiling, Like a black button that had Rolled into the darkness That presses against the wall, Like a scent you've grown Too used to for you To notice... I've always been here, Just not clearly enough To come into focuse.
