Ghost Girl

A short poem about feeling invisible. Unfortunately, loneliness can have consequences.

She screams aloud and beats the ground,

begging to be seen.

She claws at the black coats that pass her by,

but her fingers are a sinking sheen.

She drops to her knees, and then to her side,

staring, yet seeing nothing.

Tears flow like a sorrowful river,

but she doesn't feel a thing.

She shivers, sighs, and closes her eyes,

as the truth slowly unfurls;

Written "R.I.P.," and "Here She Lies,"

The invisible ghost girl.

I can definitely relate to this poem - being relatively quiet and bookish when I was younger made me feel like I didn't exist around the bigger personalities in my classes at school.
You accurately captured the feeling of helplessness that goes along with feeling invisible. Really well written!

Thank you! I'm the same way, don't worry. :)

You describe an unsettling feeling of being alone and invisible. But it is true. Too bang on the door of this existence, to at anytime find your self on the outside looking in, can be frightening. Maddening. Vivid piece, Rachel

you know, i have always been fascinated by the thought of what it would be like to be a "disconnected " spirit. not knowing that you had passed on. it reminds me of a movie i saw a few tears ago called "The Invisible" the story was fantastic and the soundtrack was awesome....you might want to google it and watch it sometime. this poem is great!
