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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

When you are shy it is easy to disappear. I can totally relate to this poem Daniel. Growing older certainly helps. You have a gift of touching the heart Daniel. #7 ; )
