Invisible
I'm invisible now
A victim of my own deliberate efforts, of my own success
I'm invisible now
I hold space for others so that they may feel seen, feel heard
I'm invisible now
Emotional space for everyone else but me
I'm invisible now
Always calm, always OK, always consistent
I'm invisible now
No opinions to be shared
For I have been deemed too extreme, too unorthodox
So no point, no purpose, no end game to be had
I'm invisible now
I will talk with them, laugh with them, listening to every word they utter
But yet they will never know me, truly know me
For there remains a distance, a boundary, a limit
I'm invisible now
There is a wish to be seen, and to be loved for who is seen
But it's not possible
They can't see, so I will not be seen, and will not be loved
Invisible people rarely are
