In Plain Sight

October 16, 2014
 A girl wears an invisible cloak She feels hidden but she's still seen at most She knows that they know How weak she has shown She was strong, courageous, daring Though throughout the years she was breaking Her mind has had her shaking The true perceptions, disillusioned, had her fearing Thinking people were monsters, was too overbearing As the invisible cloak deteriorates She teaches herself to heal her ache Having no excuse to hide Teaches herself how to fight Slowly becoming strong, courageous, daring Paying attention to the people worth caring Her mind becomes her friend Her hidden old self, flowing to its end The truth of her begins to reveal Even if she still hides behind an invisible veil
