The invisible boy

A quiet voice drowned out by a chorus of chatter

Plain features hidden withen the crowd

(Can you see him?)

He wants to be heard

He needs to be seen

(There he is.)

before he fades away

Lost withen a sea of peers

(Do you see him now?)

Smile straining against lead weights

For who he doesnt know

(Quick! There he is!)

Optimism forced off his tounge

An offering to ungrateful ears

(Hurry, before he disappears)

He`s tired now

He wont fight it any more

(He's gone now...)

He'll let himself fade away

Forever lost to the world

(Were you even looking?)

His presence gone, people begin to turn their heads

But its far to late to notice him

(He was the invisible boy)
