Invisible
If you're standing and nobody sees
If nobody hears you do you cease to be
How much of yourself will you lose to this game
Without holding the participants in deep disdain
How long will you cry and nobody listen
Your eyes seem almost forever to misten
Surely it's not supposed to feel like this
Something in becoming an adult that you must've missed
Be "nice" speak pleasant and all will adore
NO
It just means your needs are easier to ignore
You're worth more than this speak out loud find your voice
To suffer in quiet is a personal choice
Wanting so badly to walk and stand proud
To live to the fullest and live it out loud
You've forgotten who you are, forgotten where you've been
But remember God sees the pain that you're in
This lesson is far too important to miss
Study it carefully your feelings you should never dismiss
Stop walking on eggshells and learn how to yell
And maybe the next time the story will be different that you tell
