invisible to the world i created

if being accepted means to hide yourself then why do we need to be accepted when we will just hide from areselfs.

its a scary thought

as it crosses my mind

im getting older

more wise

but also more invisible to the world

they do not see me

im white as a ghost

see through

its a scary thought

as it crosses my mind

im older now

more wise

im not sure they see

im tucked away into my world i created

its lonley there

a world where fears do not excist

where family loves

where people get along

a world i created

is no longer safe for me

im getting older

im getting wiser

but also becoming invisible to the world

its a scary thought

as it crosses my mind

im invisible to the world i created

Author's Note

this poem is not about understanding its about growing up to be what others want us to but then we choose to do different and we become invisible to what we want and forget who we are.

I like this poem. Your words are true. With age we learn we are not so important. BUT it is not true. One person can change the world with desire and strong heart. I believe it is our choice. Be invisible or do something to change/help this world. A very good poem. Open the door to a long discussion. A excellent poem.
