Have you ever felt
Invisible
As if everyone
Was against you
No one would listen
Or pay attention
You were alone

Like you were a
Shadow in the night
You blended in
So unnoticed
No one paid attention
And no one seemed to care
But your strength is strong
And now you’ll be able
To survive in midnight
In the darkness

The darkness seemed
To be eating you
A giant carnivorous shadow
An enemy of the light
A survivor of creation
Yet people don’t see you

Like you were a
Shadow in the night
You blended in
So unnoticed
No one paid attention
And no one seemed to care
But your strength is strong
And now you’ll be able
To survive in midnight
In the darkness

You never gave up
You listened to your heart
Your prayers were answered
Your life turned out better
You got tougher and stronger
Purer and truer
And you’re no longer

A shadow in the night
Blending in
So unnoticed
Not paid attention to
Or cared about
Your strength is still strong
And now you’re able to
Survive in midnight
In the darkness

The darkness
Swallowing you whole
The darkness
Consumed your whole life
All your time, all your heart
The darkness

Because you’re like a
Shadow in the night
You’re blending in
So unnoticed
(so unnoticed)
You weren’t paid
Any attention to
Or thought or
Cared about
But your strength is strong
And now you’re able to
Survive in midnight
In darkness
A shadow-filled darkness
Darkness

Every now and then, I would feel picked on... I would feel alone and upset... This helped me learn to cope with the feeling and become stronger. I knew I wasn't alone.
