Gail Foster Poet Rhyme

Invisible Man

He stood upon the chair
A knotted rope 
Around his neck
All passion spent
Just waiting
For the fall
I never understood, he thought
What others meant
Or why nobody 
Quite 
Got me
At all
A better place, he thought
Away from 
Violent pain
Loss
Misery 
And sin
And no one 
Saw him
Going out
Like no one
Saw him
Coming in
