Invisible
Sometimes there are poeple
I think no one else can see
No one even knows they're there
No one... except for me
The girl who sits at lunch alone
Her nose down in a book
I watch peole pass her by
Without even a look
The boy who's not so good at sports
Who doesn't want to play
They don't think he's listening
But he hears what they say
Some people are taunted
Others treated mean
But even that'd be better
Than never being seen
I imagine they go home at night
Parents ask about their day
They make up lies to cover up
The things they cannot say
After eating dinner
They go up to their beds
They fall alsleep with tears of pain
Wishing they were dead
Then they go to school again
Where everythings the same
Everyone just walks right by
They don't know why they came
Yet they keep on comming
Their spirit never breaks
They always make the best of it
No matter what it takes
They know that no one knows them
And they don't even care
I can see them smiling
When no one else is there
In some ways they are braver
Than no one I've ever known
They are not afraid to live
Even if they're alone
For all the people that walk by
I guess the jokes on you
For all the people never seen
Can do what you can't do
You can't stand alone
Up on your own two feet
But they can and that's one way
That they've got you beat
No. This is my favorite.
Hey Sam,
I just came to check out your poems after our coversation the other day, and i must say, im quite impressed. This one in particular really stood out. It flows really well, it rhymes without being cheesy, and it has a message that is easy to identify with (atleast for me). You said you hadnt written or posted in a while, and i think you should start up again. Youve got talent, use it.
you're right... it does hurt to be invisible.
