I am invisible.
I stand in the corner and watch
the world go by
never thinking to jump in
fore fear of getting hurt,
Yes, It is a lonely stance to take,
but at least
I wont break should things fall apart.

I am invisible.
Do you want to talk?
Sure.
Who are you? I'll ask
so as not to share
who I truly am, Why?
for who would want to know me
because,
I am invisible.

Invisible is how I grew up
with family and friends who
drew the spotlight onto themselves,
I content to stand in the shadows
listening, observing, sharing thoughts only in my head,
I'm invisible with groups of friends.
Don't touch my defenses, you'll never see me again.

I'm invisible,
the only voice to this voiceless one
is the written word with rose colored glasses and
thoughts of my world in my head
I've been invisible all my life
until now.

AH!  And now I see you.  I for one am very glad you decided to be visible.
But I do understand where you came from.  When you get to be my age… you just don’t care who can see you.  It’s more fun to be visible.

I do enjoy your poetry.

Powerful brushes to share your personality, dear Ebonygirl. We are all the principal performers of our lives and we are meant to be strong. Your sensitivity is an extra gift I would say. You are beautiful, step out into the light with your captivating poetry, fortify your wings and dare to fly. No one can hurt you unless you allow them to ...

Excellent write.

Love,
Margherita

Breakout. Live the life even with the pain, it's not a bad thing. Keep pushing forward, with the attitude that you are invisible, therefore indestructible, can only be a winner.

You are far from invisible, Edna. You are just coming into your own.

Our words make us visible... even those of us who were cellophane before. *S*
