Invisible Man

Invisible Man

 

Am I invisible?

Or am I just fine

I’ve noticed

 I’m being unnoticed

Is it all just in my mind?

 

Your disrespect is detectable

Am I misreading the signs?

Overlooked and under-appreciated

Maybe you’re the one who’s blind.

 

Not seeing me for who I am

And keeping my light confined

But hiding a star in the dark

Will only increase its shine

 

There are too many who are unseen

Disregarded and ignored

I hope they heed my transparency

And these words strike a chord  

 

Because the world is full of ghosts

With their heads in the sand

A visual all too visible

Only seen by an invisible man

This was a wonderful read. Very well written and I read it several times - it struck home for me. The feeling and sincerity jumped out at me. "Not seeing me for who I am/And keeping my light confined/But hiding a star in the dark/Will only increase its shine" - beautiful and simple. Well done my friend!

Excellent write - you hit your message home right from the start. So many are "blind" to the realities of the world, and those that do see are, as you suggest, unseen themselves. Well done!

Thank you Rita! :-)

Haunting and you get right to the meaty parts, you always tell it like it is Serenus, that's what I love most about your poetry, this slams you on the head and makes one take notice, great read!

[Sirius King]

that means a lot Frieda, thank you!

[Samuel Jack]
