Invisible

I feel as though I'm standing in the middle of a giant room full of people;

The people having no recognizable features, standing talking to one another,

As though they were mindless zombies, programmed to do nothing but chatter and carry on.

I can feel my mouth move, but nothing but bloodcurdling screams exit my mouth.

I feel my heart breaking as I continue to scream; no one bothering to look up;

No one who even bothered to show concern at all. I stop screaming, and feel

Myself walk among the crowd, looking into their nonexistent faces, trying to find one familiar face.

My efforts were futile, but I didn't give up hope; I was bound and determined to

Find one familiar face in a sea of unfamiliarity and despair.

I was about to give up all hope when I finally found what I was looking for.

His face was that of compassion and caring; his eyes had a soft loving light to them.

I reached out to caress his beautiful face, when it hit me: he couldn't't see me.

I am invisible to him. He cannot see me, for I am nothing but a figment of his imagination.

I longed to be standing there with him, to be apart of the crowd, but I knew I couldn't't, for

I am but a figment of everyone's imagination; they cannot see me, but I can see them.

I long to be apart of the crowd, to be accepted for who I am, but I know I can't.

In order for me to belong, I must be visible to the room of people; I know in my wildest

Dreams that will never happen.

That is what I am to my beloved: invisible.

Unseen and unwanted by the

Crowd of people in that giant room.

Part of me longed to be a part of that crowd, while the other

Part of me, longed to stay invisible; nothing but just a figment of his imagination.

Someday, I will at long last stand by my beloved; finally visible for him to see,

Accepted for who I am, not for what everyone else wants me to be┘
