Invisible (by Lori R. )
I am invisible…
And the memories I recall
Silently waiting
In a dark and empty hall
Has everyone forsaken me..
Was I really all that bad?
When they look into my eyes
Do they see the pain I had?
I am invisible…
And I do not make a peep
My blood runs thru the wounds so deep
And the secrets that I keep
They never really knew me
Or my stepping stones of pain
I was washed downstream and swept away
Like teardrops in the rain
I am invisible…
And the odds are always stacked
The tiny fragments of the mirror
for me have all been cracked
How can I put the fragile
pieces on the shelf?
The many scattered slivers
that are hidden from myself?
I am invisible…
Sustained through all these years
My sentence and my destiny
is the taste of silent tears…I am invisible
