The world rushes by my face, This strange world about me, Smiling couples hand in hand, They fill me with glee. But as the time goes by, And I still stand alone, I feel rage burning within, I am truly on my own. I am the image in the desert, That fades as you near, I scream a loud concerto, Yet I’m a voice you never hear. I have waited in these shadows, For days of agony and strife, Ignored and forgotten like ancient toys, This my fate for life. I watch as you shovel in their manure, Kissing their well made hole, Whilst the arrival is ignored, It all takes its toll. So I shall bid thee farewell, Though you won’t ever hear, This is my message, It is quiet and clear… |

Yes, once upon a time I felt invisible. It is not nice. But happily, there is a magic potion that renders you seen -- it is called learning to love, yourself, your friends, your enemies. I hope you will find yourself, for once you see yourself clearly, then others shall too. Susan btw, I still have my Romulan cloaking device for those times when I want to be invisible. Works really well Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind. |

"I am the image in the desert, That fades as you near, I scream a loud concerto, Yet I’m a voice you never hear." I hear you. I especially liked this verse. |
