Invisible Child

I’m tired of being invisible.
No one can understand.
I disappear night and day
With no one to hold my hand.

I force myself to hide.
No one will ever realize
That the stars inside my eyes
Is merely a unique disguise.

I want at least some attention.
No one can see
I wouldn’t be so miserable
If people noticed me.

My mind fades beyond reality
No one notices the tears I shed.
How can I expect them to see
When my heart and soul are dead?

I can’t speak up for myself
No one knows my name.
I will never find my voice
Because I feel so ashamed.

I cry constantly because i cannot stop.
No one cares about my tears.
Who would be there to help me
When no one knows my fears?

I never mention my feelings
No one has confessed
Why do they neglect me
Making me feel so distressed?

The tears roll down my cheeks.
No one cares enough to tell.
Fear builds up inside me.
My heart calls out for help.

The message isn’t heard
No one cares to listen.
My thoughts, fears, dreams, ideas
Will never be able to glisten.

I am not a ghost because
No one sees my shadow.
They don’t acknowledge my existence.
My heart becomes more hollow.

My dreams have dissipated.
No one helps me through
Did my ambitions ever really exist?
Or are they dissipating too?

I try to show my face though
No one sees behind my style.
I shouldn’t be invisible to everyone.
For there is wisdom behind my smile.

I may never conquer
I may not overcome
But in my heart and soul,
I’m not the invisible one.

I'm really shy so I try to write about people like me who tend to blend in because they like to.
