Invisible

I don't pretend to be anything great
I don't claim to shine in any type of subject
I don't pretend to stick out in a crowed

People look at me for a second
But pass me by without a second thought
People don't really see me at all

I am invisible
I don't pretend to be anything more
I have excepted it

People don't take the time to see me
They don't take the time to know me
They don't bother to waste time to understand

I found comfort in my loneliness
I don't know anything other then being alone
And overlooked

I don't know how I got here
But it's all I know
And I don't think i'll know anything else

Being invisible? An interesting thought..Well written.

[M Garcia]

nicely done. flows well. makes the reader stop and think about themselves and how they feel and if they relate.

You spelt the title of the poem wrong. I'm sure people will be able to relate to this.

[Cafe Reader]

Good writing. Well expressed emotions.

Easy to feel invisible. I like being invisible. When I need to make my points. I do. In my young days I wanted to be famous. With age. I have a private life and no-one trying to track me down. I like the feel and the emotion of the poem. In a life. You will want few people to love and want in your life. A very interesting poem. With age you will find your place where you are content. Can't be held prisoner forever. A excellent poem. You made me think.

I like it.

You have Invisible spelled two ways. I think the one in the body of the poem is the correct one, but might pull out a dictionary and check. Spelling really isn't my strong point either lol

We all feel that way , way too often

I loved it! It relates to how I feel at school.
The line:
'I found comfort in my loneliness
I don't know anything other then being alone
And overlooked'

GENIUS! xD

this is sad, but wonderful at the same time. because even though you say you're not great at anything you are the world to another person. :P
