Invisible
i feel light & lonely, insubstantial
everything stands shattered now
broken yet perfected
my deepest shadows guiding me,
say nothing stays the same
i see the world go by with smiles
& wonder how it feels
to be the ones with bright faces
& sunlight on your heels
spend my days in desperation
quiet yet sincere
no one seems to notice
though i stand so near
perhaps i am a secret
the kind that no one hears
locked in silence or hidden in screaming
so the words remain unclear
i dreamt that i was fading
& the world went on the same
how tempting to forget
what i am or that i ever was
if hearts go unscarred by this disappearance
what proof remains that i was ever here?
