Fake Invisibility

Compared to her I am nothing,

Simply a girl that gets looked by,

And never given a second glance,

Or a small, meek ‘hi.’

Ordinary features and dull eyes,

No outstanding feature to show,

Nor do I resemble someone famous,

Or anyone you may know.

I am just another girl,

Who walks alone on the street,

Baggy clothing hanging off my limbs,

And a hoodie despite the heat.

To everyone else I am invisible,

A spectral being to walk through,

A cold breeze past you,

And everyone you knew.

In society’s eyes,

I am the outcast,

The one no one likes,

Wondering how long this will last.

Even as I stare in the mirror,

I see no one,

No reflection looking back at me,

No one to rudely shun.

I question the sanity,

Of people in this life,

Who so blindly throw words around,

Sharp and dangerous as a knife.

Sometimes I wonder,

What exactly it will take,

In order to change their minds,

Without having to be fake.
