I'm experimenting. Sometimes I like to step outside of my usual romantic and somewhat flowery self and play around. So this time I thought I'd step into the shoes of those who see but are rarely seen. The Forgotten I am, but I am not I am here but you do not see me For to see me You would have to know me And this you cannot do If at first you dismiss me Making up your mind As to who I am Before even asking my name Invisibility is a shield A barrier of sorts Erected as a force field Keeping out your silent slurs That scream through your averted eyes For how can you look at me If I’m not really here? Walk on by Think not to forget me For you cannot forget what you do not know And you cannot know what you do not see For I am, but I am not Except inside of me Where I cannot escape myself Nor the fires of your ignorance That brand me from within S.A.T. |

So good to stretch out and try those wings *S* For I am, but I am not Except inside of me Where I cannot escape myself Nor the fires of your ignorance That brand me from within Absolutely excellent lines throughout TD |
