There's nothing worse
than being invisible, I want to scream, I'm here you know, I'm a
person, and I can see you, walking by, ignoring me, acting like I'm
nothing, and if you don't look at me, I'll go away, but it
doesn't work like that, closing your eyes won't make me go away,
I'm not a bad dream, I'm real, and I'm just like you, you could
be me, you think we are worlds apart but it's not like that, we
have more in common then you think, you could be me, you could be
invisible, and I could be you, important, powerful, noticeable, but
that's life, life's not fair, I know that better than anybody,
and so do you, but you hate it, that unfairness would eat away at you
if you acknowledged it, the guilt would kill you, you can't handle
it, so you look away, and if a brief moment of awkward eye contact
ever occurs, it's pity mixed with disgust in your eyes, I'm less
than human to you, less than an animal, the lowest form of life, and
you can't spare a penny on a beast like me, a menace to society, a
druggie, a crazy, somebody below you, a parasite, not worthy of
recognition, of eye contact, certainly not a smile, not
acknowledgement that we are in this world together and we're both
human, no, you don't think I deserve even that, so you don't see
me, I'm invisible.
