A boy walks through the halls,
looking at the familiar faces passing him by
hoping that someone,
anyone will say hi,
but nobody does.

He sits in the back of the classroom,
isolated and alone.
When he raises his hand to answer the question
the teacher doesn’t even give him a glance.

At lunch he goes into the cafeteria,
and sees all the people talking and joking
with their friends.
He searches for a place to sit
in the countless empty seats among them,
but he ends up abandoned in silence.

After school, he returns to his dreary home.
There only the newscasters accompany him.
as he eats the pitiful meal
that he made himself.

On the weekends,
he fantasizes about what it would be like
to be normal and go to a party.
As he sits on the couch dreaming,
his sits phone next him,
and he waits for it to illuminate and buzz
from a text that will never come.


Before he goes to sleep,
he lays in bed and cries,
praying for someone to care,
and wishing for a friend.
He then thinks and wonders why
he has to live this cursed life
of being invisible.
