Maybe I'M Invisible

You speak but they can't hear All of the times not being aware That you've secretly shed a tear Maybe I'm invisible They look but they can't see The bird that wants to be freed From the cage that takes away its chance to be. Maybe I'm invisible How different would life seem If they joined me in their team, But a dream is just a dream. Maybe I'm invisible. If only a friend Could comprehend My existence and send A hug of comfort to mend My lonely heart. But its easy to see And its easy to be Invisible 24/06/2014

Love the message. It echoes one of my own. I called it "A poem noone wants to read"

Tanya, I can identify with this, so can my wife, and probably many of us here in the soup. During my school years, I feel as if I lived in a bubble, or just out of sync with time and the world---in essences Invisible. What changed for me, was me. I found other inviable people to be friends with---then I started helping people when and wherever I could. This put smiles on their faces, and on mine---and I found, there is nothing invisible about a Smile.

I agree, and me being at school at the moment i get a lot of cases like this but i know that i have friends that make me feel wanted so i'm glad about that :)

I really like this piece, and this subject is close to my heart still after many years gone by, and realize this, you are no longer invisible----'Cause I can see you !

this goes to people who are "unfeeling" with eyes but opted to be blind, they can hear but opted to be deaf, they can change someone but opted to just shut up and run away... there reasons? only them and God knows.. :) WARM WELCOME to Poetrysoup. :) I have been here 'bout 2years now and let me say that I have lots of learning and fun here.. :) as you will go around, you will meet allot of beautiful nice people.. :) I hope you will enjoy it here as like me.. :) WELCOME!
