Daniel Turner Poet Quatrain

Being Invisible

Once ignored in a conversation
What a feeling of indignation
In an aging and lonely situation
Now I'm feeling those same sensations

Having a disability
Given no accountability
Existing in invisibility
One wouldn't think a possibility

Inconspicuous but still there
People don't disappear in thin air
It leaves such a feeling of despair
When you feel like nobody cares


   an original poem by Daniel Turner.

Dave Timperley July 20, 2017 at 11:49 AM Hi Dan, Just read your poem after re reading my own. Now I know why you relate. Once debilitated by a busted spine but now by deafness and many times feel isolated. Great write. God Bless. D. Daniel Turner July 21, 2017 at 10:13 AM I am sorry to hear about your deafness, Dave. Being disabled, one really gets to see the ugliness of this world. People either patronize you or avoid you.

Freddie Robinson Jr. February 17, 2017 at 12:41 PM Btw ... I have a disability too, if this is your personal reality, so I feel you on this poem, my friend. Much love to you. Daniel Turner February 17, 2017 at 5:17 PM It is my reality as it is a reality for many just like us. It would seem if someone is in a wheelchair they don't matter. Thank you for the friendly visits my friend. God Bless!
