Invisible To You.

Day 9 of 90 days of poetry.

I see you staring from across the bar,

All smiles and winks, if only you knew,

That flirting with me doesn't go that far,

It's just that I'm invisible to you. 

It's not because I think I'm better,

Nor because I'm not attracted to you,

It's not even because I'm bitter,

The reason I feel invisible to you.

You see, I've lived two social lives,

One that's old and one brand new,

Even though this one has better vibes,

I still think I'm invisible to you. 

In high school I was overweight ,

Almost 300 pounds, I was huge.

I've lost over 100 of that to date,

But it left a scar invisible to you.

I'm not comfortable in my own skin,

My confidence has been shot to hell too.

I don't even know where to begin,

To not feel invisible to you. 

You might have your own story,

Overcame a personal trial or two.

Yet when it comes to me I'm sorry,

I will still be invisible to you.

Maybe one day it will all work out,

I'll gain confidence and begin anew,

And learn to overcome my doubt,

But tonight, I'll stay invisible to you.

Oh wow! I could feel the life sadness in this. Certainly mirrored my schooling years and events. I could easily relate to the content and the feelings brought across. You did a great job at blending the tale of which you wished to convey into a smooth feeling flow of words. Much enjoyed!

Great Ink!

Thank you. I'm slowly learning how to reason through my life with words. I'm glad I was able to capture the emotion of this and it's nice too know someone can relate with what I went through. Thank you for reading!
