Best Invisibility Poems

Daily, we look at strangers such as cashiers; they see us too.

Removed from them, can we describe their faces? Can they describe ours?

Invisibility seems part of the human condition.

Wrapped up in a blanket; by a fireplace in her mind
Remembering cozy evenings; 0f banquets once so fine.
      Where she held her lover tightly; trying to make it never end;
      But time has left her...

whereas I, by chance, talking to myself, finding myself
alone, enclosed by four walls and a door, knock
to see, in the invisibility, with x-ray ability, not held,
if you dear reader, sitting by your nightlight, might
switch it on and find a word to speak silently
or out loud;...

I sit alone, invisible, on this chair
In a climate conditioned 22.
Surrounded by pin-boards, computers and boxes
At a grey corner desk in a zoo.

Detachable shelves hang, offering a space
To put all our things of import.
People whisper and gossip and mutter and moan
Complaining about public transport.

Glass walls...

This independence is a luxury 
And your, mental freedom comes so easily
But your torn,
Between the truth and the lies of it all

You're growing tired of overthinking things
Excessive failure, endless suffering
But you won't
Be denied or revoked of your pride
Oh your petty little lies are like hell

to be happy, joyous  

and not broken...

wonder into your nose 

 

and make you...

Was I born to disappear from everyone's eyes  
and be totally worthless by feeling so small?
Would I have made a difference at all
by uplifting only one soul by tossing my dice
and defy a fear that kept on gripping, 
allowing no chance to escape compromise?

Feeling disjointed--disconnected--a steel wall's

been erected, inhaling air in my lungs, words roll

off my tongue--I can see their lips moving--

voices disapproving, trying to comprehend amid

confusion without end--

act normal--just pretend everything's alright,

haven't lost my will to fight,

gotta' stay employed as long as I can,

yeah, I'm working for...

Invisibility is view of self

in a crowd of the invisible,

hoping to meet an inner self,

I mark the days I failed to starve up on my wrist in tallies.
 It's gotten to the point where I have almost ran out of room to count the times I’ve inflicted pain to punish myself for being human.
 When I get hungry, I...

I’m talking to you. 
Can’t you hear me?
I’m standing with you. 
Can’t you see me? 
I’m giving you my heart. 
Can’t  you feel it?
Why do you shrink away from my touch?
What is so wrong with me, that you walk away when I approach you?
Why...

“Place this cloak around you and blink six times
You will then hear three chimes
When your body begins to shudder
You’ll be invisible to your own mother!”...
