Invisible
Even my mother once described me as being a plain Jane.
Not even afforded the indignity of being treated with disdain.
Invisible, that's what I am among my peers.
No one to share my hopes, my dream, or even my fears.
I Gave up long ago it seems, of trying to be known.
Invisible on the stage of life, forever all alone.
Some believe it would be magical being invisible to all.
Fair well I know the truth, even my tears have ceased to fall.
Times past I tried to appear, let people know I'm there.
Tried time and time again, but none would ever care.
I stand on the edge of the world, a spectator to it all.
Just longing to be seen, someone please! my name to call.
I lie here on my bed, in the sanctuary of my room.
Realising I never see the light, just gazing through the gloom.
I stand and stare into the mirror, now there's nothing I can see.
The realisation hits me hard. Now I'm invisible to me.
l am reminded me on a Girl I knew at school. I imagine what she would have gone through being invisible to her peers.
