Invisible

Imperceptible, unnoticed, undetectable Undetectable, indiscernible, indistinguishable Every word that describes me and how I feel Pokerfaced life that feels so unreal Unloved, unnamed, and certainly unknown Millions of emotions that will never be shown All hide deep inside my skin So I cut myself to show what’s within But no one pays attention, maybe they’re too cheap And now because of my uncertainties I will never get some sleep Obscure, misjudged, mistaken My heart is broke, my world is shaken Misunderstood by everyone I know So I don’t let my true colours show I dim in the sun like a shadow in the light Everything is so dark I don’t even know what’s bright Where’s my self confidence, is it buried like my dreams? Is it covered with my hopes and under my billion screams? My terrible fate echoes in my head No one hears my cries, I feel like one of the dead I might as well be, but would the dead even see me All of my friends were imaginary And even they were a bit mean I would do anything just to be seen To be loved, understood, to be named something sweet To come into the light and not to be trampled under everyone’s feet But my wishes don’t get answered for no one would ever listen If they even tried their hearts and eyes would glisten I always heard that it’s better to be you But the world will never care about something that is true By: Julie Alcin 3/30/2013 How do I feel today contest
