Invisible

Every single morning I lean against this tree

It’s hollow and emptiness is reflected in me

Everyone walks straight past it, like it’s just air

This nonexistent feeling is another thing we share

It knows as well as I do that nobody really cares

People only speak to us for stupid things like dares

It doesn’t really matter how I feel inside

Because those are the feelings I know I have to hide

Sitting at the floor of the tree

Its beauty is something people can’t see

Behind it’s thick hazel bark

It’s really cowering from the dark

Behind my deep blue eyes

I’m really cowering from all the lies.

There are no tethers to the world outside

Running and crying, it’s in fear we hide

There are no pleasures for us anymore

Loosing myself to my cold black core

I’m falling in disgrace

With my artificial face

The light has gone and darkness is here

Time to say goodbye to all I held dear

The end leers closer and swallows me whole

And now I lay by the tree, as still as a pole

Fearing the darkness and hating the light

Lost forever in the never-ending night
