Writing Prompt

I’m invisible

A great power

A blessing

Can’t get in trouble

Can’t do what you don’t want

Can’t get forced

No one pays attention

To your mistakes

To your accidents

I’m invisible

A horrid power

A curse

Can’t ask questions

Can’t get help

Can’t be seen

No one pays attention

To my thoughts and words

To my likes and dislikes...

I’m invisible

On the sidelines

I want to join

I’m even invited

But the thoughts

They say that I’m bad

That I’m not good enough

Away from the others

My shadow lingers

My presence stalks

It’s not my fault they don’t see me

I’m just glad they don’t stare

They treat me so differently

When they don’t know I’m there...

I’m always there

In the corner

Never seen

Away from the world

When I speak

No one hears

If I disappeared

No one would notice

No one would care

It’s better that way

Away from pain

Till the end of time
