I am invisible.
My life has become
a listless note.
I am anonymous
to my friends,
to my family,
to myself.
I live the life of a nobody,
my personality - hidden,
my heart - kept,
but only one person knows my secret,
and he keeps it.
My life story unwritten,
never to be told,
forbidden.
In love,
by secret
and in life
by another name.
Does it make me someone else,
or is this one man
enough to keep me alive.
She gets to live with him,
she gets to be his family,
she gets to be with him publically.
I live in his shadow?
So she gets my life.

Wow. Very expressive, wonderful write here. You intrigue me more and more everytime you post.
The situation here though, pisses me off a bit. I hope you really aren't in this situation. I've beenin a highly similar one- and it's so stupid and degrating to yourself. Think about it. She gets YOUR life? Nope. She gets her own life. He could leave her if he wanted to. He chooses to stay with her though. Move on- You deserve better than being second to another woman. It's just not respectful at all. Anyway though, the poem is the real issue, and like I said- You did a fantastic job on it. I really enjoyed it.


You wouldn't worry about what people thought about you if you knew how seldom they did.

Thanks Spice, and I know exactly what you mean this situation is so degrading to women but the poem was not about me.  I have never been in this situation I am very much in love at the moment and I intend to keep it that way!!  *hugs you!*

This was so sad. I hope things get ok with you. I didn't like the way this was going cuz it was just not a good, happy, haha kind of poem. Oh well, we're all sad sometimes and the situation does seem  bad.  

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.
