Invisible


I know you me---

This you cannot deny,

Or talk a good game,

Trying to put someone to shame.

 

I know you see me----

Not the Fig Newton of your mind 

But if you just be kind,

Not ignore me this kind.

 

I'm standing right near you

Or you didn't have a clue,

What I am saying to you now

To your face.

 

Don't you recognize 

That deep in in my eyes 

I feel I'm  not with you 

Don't you it's true?
 

The evolution,

Of this temptation,

Revolving over and over again,

As the ink of my pen,

Seems to glide across the page,

As I write I start to age,

While time seems to slip away.

 

I am not invisible at all,

Not just another victim to fall

In the mist of nothingness 

Or anything less.

 

No I am not a shadow 

Or some pretty color in a rainbow 

Or some time ticking away 

Or something that will never stay 

I am not invisible.

 

Look at me,

Look at me,

What do you see?
A shadow in darkness?
No,

You see me.    1 Oct. 2021
