It Wasn't My Choice
I am my daddy's little girl, my mother's daughter.  To some I am a knight in shining armor, hiding behind a scruffy wardrobe.  People see me as that girl who doesn't care, that girl who doesn't have feelings.
 
 And so I trudge through life, not exactly caring what goes on around me.
 
 No listens to my cries, my screams, my tears.  No one notices as I tuck myself away from my friends.  They don't care what happened to me.  I am invisible.
 
 Days go by, years drain away.
 
 I sit in this chair, daydreaming about the boy who broke my heart.  Daydreaming about the girl I kissed.  Daydreaming about the boy who treated my kindly.  Wishing my best friend would realize I want to hold her, kiss her, love her just like her boyfriend does.
 
 She doesn't notice me, for I am invisible.
 
 I sit behind the wheel, with my dad in the passenger seat.  My hair is tied back, I am wearing his hand-me does clothes.  I eat like a pig, I talk like a man, I walk like a male.  I flirt with the same cheesy lines my best male friend taught me.  Neither man seem to see I want to wander into their hunting grounds and make a few sweet girls look at me and only me.
 
 They don't notice, for I am invisible.
 
 And I wonder, 'if I were to die, to paint this house red with spilled blood, would they notice I was gone?  Would they notice my bloody body?  Or would I be left their to rot - invisible?'
