Forever Invisible

Unlike my other poems this one is actually about myself.

In her shadow I always seem to be
Everyone notices her, but no one notices me
She is so outgoing, but I've always been shy
But I honestly don't think that's a good excuse as to why

 

When I try to talk I'm always ignored
They look at me and yawn as if they're bored
Is the thought of being my friend really so appauling
No matter how hard I try I always end up falling

 

They come up to her and have full conversations
While I stand awkwardly and listen to their revelations
Sometimes I wonder if I'm actually invisible
Or does my small stature make me easily dismissable

 

Do they ever wonder what effect it has on me
Me crying when I'm alone is what I'd like for them to see
Maybe then they'd realize how long I've been standing here
Waiting for someone to notice that I'm quiet because I fear

 

What people will think of me whenever I actually speak
I'm an insecure person and I'm scared they'll think I'm a freak
I analyze every single move I make hoping that I don't look strange
But I need someone elses help if I'm ever going to change

 

For now, though, I'll continue to stand around
Listening to them talk, and as usual I won't make a sound
Their conversation will contine on and I'll never be a part
I wonder what they would think if they knew they were breaking my heart

very dark and deep ......well done

I can relate and sympathize to the feeling of alone, even though you're standing right there. At the same time, it's those that sit back and listen to everything that gain the wisdom's of life without having to pay such a high cost. So, there is both a good and bad side to being in that position.
The poem flowed well and carried much in the way of emotional vibration. Great Ink!
