Why can't they see me?

Those people over there 

They walk past as if they know 

how far I have to go 

to hide within my mind 

My mind races 

across a thousand miles 

before I find what I can say 

and this consumes my day 

Why can't they see me? 

I'm standing right here 

No one will notice me 

and this is what I fear 

I fear no one will notice me 

because I can not be who I want to be 

for I will be judged if I show my true self

because I do not have fame, popularity or wealth 

And to this thought I regress back into isolation

where the only harsh jugement will come from me alone

this is where I started

Irreparably on my own
