A Shadow in the Night

Some people long for the ability to be invisible Others are invisible against their choice Ignored, and looked past as though nothing was there Perhaps its the all black attire that I wear No one sees me for me, no one looks past the surface If they did, even the stares of lust would cease But the people who say that they care When called upon for help, are found no where Like a shadow in the night, I am unseen Too horrific to be acknowledged If they were to show the slightest kindness Than they would have to acknowledge my darkness My past makes the bravest people fearful Makes them cower in terror away from me Too much for them to be able to accept So instead they do what's easier and reject I am the shadow in the night Designed to give a fright Not a single bit of light Fighting with all my might
