The World is Blind
and I am Invisible

I dare not even sign my name
for it will not be seen nor read

The World Is Blind

That in itself makes this piece stand out

[Samantha ~virginpoet]

Thanks ... Ive used that line is an earlier poem ... I wrote in 2004 don't know if its on here so Ill add it here

IN MY HAND

The world is dark
The world is blind
In my hand
I hold my mind
All is cold
All is pain
All is done in vain
Living, Loving
Fearing, Dying
Disappearing
Fading away
Turning to dust.
We all fear
Being forgotten
But we live on
In the hearts
Of those we
Leave behind

[Marc Marlon Villaflor]

That's a powerful voice Anonymous, truly remarkable.

Invisible ink I expect

Poetry should surprise by a fine excess and not by singularity, it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts, and appear almost a remembrance. ~John Keats

That is anonymous, for sure! I wonder why the capitalization in the first line. It is almost like a second title that emphasizes a human condition--not just your take on it. That carries some power into the second couplet which is so sad, really.

Can publish this?

[Samantha ~virginpoet]

yes you may and thank you

[Verser]

No. Thank you, Samantha.

Existing quietly within your own an unseen world while your living amongst the predisposed. Great job. I love where you're coming from here. :)

I can relate to this description often. Well said

a chilling piece here... i nearly felt the room's temperature drop as I read this. a kind of homage to lost souls everywhere. I like it.

What a haunting reflection of the absence of being; a lost existence. I happen to believe that you are the sun waiting to rise above the horizon, and soon the world will hear your voice. xo
