Invisible Man

I am as human as anyone
I like to be happy and have fun
But you don’t care for me, even if you can
To you, I am the invisible man

My presence goes unnoticed all the time
For you, talking to me is like a crime
Do you see my face when you look at me
Or do you just look and never see

Your priceless attention I try to grab
To brighten up my world, that’s so drab
I make silly jokes to fill your life with spice
But to you, I am someone you despise

So I live my life as best as I can
Smiling through my tears, trying to be a man
A man whose existence, to you,  in your world is desirable
Not what I am now, Invisible

This one blew me off! Next time you politely tell me to go through the poems you put up, I will drop everything and do it. Sorry for taking this long. A sad poem... Hope this is just a poem to capture an emotion and nothing more.. Strongly and deeply felt.
