Being Invisible Would Be Bliss

Daddy wants to touch and kiss, Being invisible would be bliss No more hiding behind locked doors No more the screams of father’s whores Run through the woods to cry in peace Maybe then the beating would finally cease I could live forever, but for memories Being invisible would be bliss Sob in silence, in pain I cry Pray the lord will let me die Cannot leave, cannot stray I’ve been bad, he says I’ll pay He watches me and haunts my dreams Does daddy even here my screams? I could live forever, but for memories Being invisible would be bliss Saw that boy at school today I beg my fears please go away Bite my lip, hold my tongue Please let his guesses all prove wrong I just hope he doesn’t see The piece of daddy that hides in me I could die forever, but for reverie Being invisible, me, no one will miss He cannot see me, he wouldn’t care Hated again I could not bear Trapped myself away from him All in all dad, he still wins To not love the boy I’ve spied My poor heart has finally died I could die forever, but for reverie But I am invisible, and he will never see

Wow Misty. Courage indeed. When I posted my first poem I felt naked and exposed. But this...this is powerful. Congratulations on being featured this week. Much well deserved.

Wow, wow, wow! Totally awesome thought provoking poem. I really hope that this was not a true experience for you; but if it was, just the fact that you lived with this and came out on the other side is awesome and I hope you've come to know that only God was able to get you through those horrible experience. On the other hand, if this is just pure poetry with no first-hand experience, this is brilliant! Either way, this is an excellent poem!

Misty. I am 78 and had a very abusive father. I have never forgotten...the pain is still there after a lifetime. Fathers can kill your soul. I am sorry. Patricia

Misty, this is a very picturesque poem and a very fearful one. So many of us do not realize how many are put through this torture and spend their lives invisable in their own eyes. I give you an A plus for this one. God Bless, Cile
