InvisibleA Poem by Julie AlcinFeeling lonely and insecureImperceptible, unnoticed, undetectable Undetectable,
indiscernible, indistinguishable Every word that
describes me and how I feel Pokerfaced life that
feels so unreal Unloved, unnamed, and
certainly unknown Millions of emotions
that will never be shown All hide deep inside
my skin So I cut myself to
show what’s within But no one pays
attention, maybe they’re too cheap And now because of my
uncertainties I will never get some sleep Obscure, misjudged,
mistaken My heart is broke, my
world is shaken Misunderstood by
everyone I know So I don’t let my
true colours show I dim in the sun like
a shadow in the light Everything is so dark
I don’t even know what’s bright Where’s my self
confidence, is it buried like my dreams? Is it covered with my
hopes and under my billion screams? My terrible fate echoes
in my head No one hears my
cries, I feel like one of the dead I might as well be,
but would the dead even see me All of my friends
were all imaginary And even they were a
bit mean I would do anything
just to be seen To be loved,
understood, to be named something sweet To come into the
light and not to be trampled under everyone’s feet But my wishes don’t
get answered for no one would ever listen If they even tried
their hearts and eyes would glisten I always heard that
it’s better to be you But the world will
never care about something that is true © 2013 Julie Alcin |
