Disappear

Some days I wish I could make myself disappear
Throw a smoke bomb and leave while the smoke fogs the air
Hoping nobody notices.

On other days,
I wish I could make myself more visible
Hoping that someone will see me
And maybe pay attention to me

Contradictory statements,
I don’t know which one I want more.
The feeling of eyes and ears focused on me make me nervous
While the feeling of them off of me makes me sad

I’m complicated,
I know that for a fact
Nobody has said it
But I know they think it
One minute I want the attention
The next I want to be gone from everyone’s radius

There’s something wrong with my brain
One that I can’t point fingers
My emotions more scattered and unpredictable than the Pennsylvania weather
Stuck in a cycle that has no end
Wishing that one day one will win
Ending the cycle,
Setting me normal again
