Poem I wrote (rough draft, just whipped it up): Invisible

Invisible

 

Today I am invisible and you cannot see me

It's not that you aren't looking this time

I have just decided to be

 

It doesn't hurt so much

To be seen completely through

By anybody else

(Though especially by you)

When you aren't visible anyway

(Mostly I just get in the way)

I guess…

 

I don't know,

I'm such a mess

 

I want to hide from everything

Though I really do not know why

And to tell you the honest to goodness truth

This sort of is a lie

 

I wish that you would notice me

Yeah, you, and no one else

But I slowly grow more transparent

And I can scarcely see myself

 

To fade away you can't start out gone

Maybe that's where I've been going wrong

And if you were here, you'd see

(Somehow) I still fade so easily

 

Can you hear me still?

Can you hear someone who's invisible?

I don't know…

Can you touch me still?

Can you touch someone who's invisible?

I don't suppose so

 

Tonight I am invisible and you cannot see me

It's not that you aren't looking this time

I have just decided to be

I love that, right there.... And I know exactly how that feels... To wish to be invisible and yet really what we want is the other person to stop dead in their tracks, reach out and grab us, hold us....

 

Sometimes when we try and make ourselves invisible, it is truly the last thing we want....

 

FNO, you've struck a chord very, very close to home with me on this one.... Well, you're a little more 'privvy' to knowing, but you know....

 

Thanks for sharing you poetry with us - I know I keep telling you this, but you really have an incredible gift.....
