What if I wasn't who you think I am
I never lied to you
You made me up on your own
I tried to tell you once
I tried to tell you twice
You never heard me
What if I told you I was hurting
I never told you before
You make me feel invisible
Do you think you're the only one lost
Do you think you're the only one wondering
You don't care about me
What if I told you I was leaving
I'm never coming back
I need to escape
I need to live
You won't even notice I'm gone


So whatcha' think?

Second advice: drop the you, the direct address.

What about a scene where you really do become invisible? The person in question can't see you but, perhaps, can still hear you.

That might be fun.

This is the second time I find myself agreeing with Brad, sort of.

Try dropping the you and replacing it with I or me or my, turn the direct address inward into a conversation to, by and about yourself, I tried it and I think it really works.
