A Longing For Invisibility
Was I born to disappear from everyone's eyes
and be totally worthless by feeling so small?
Would I have made a difference at all
by uplifting only one soul by tossing my dice
and defy a fear that kept on gripping,
allowing no chance to escape compromise?
A foggy night hides stars, an unhappy soul
clings to sadness and desire nothing;
if nightingales refrain from singing,
and make each night drift to Mars
in a solitary sky awaiting nightfall....
what would I be in these shadows?
An invisible one not mattering much,
afraid of sunrise and awakening voices...
one can come alive with a human touch!
O longing for invisibility and solitude,
can I forever be befriended by fear and refuse
to leap into the glorious daylight towards dawn?
Where's the will to give worth to fortitude,
if hope is broken and joy is a dashing fawn?
Note: Choosing invisibility is to deny oneself
the feeling of joy and worthiness
by not fighting adversities.
