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. JL |

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. ~ Man who stands on toilet is high on pot. ~ |

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

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