overlooked

my whole life my presence was invisible,
as I was like inevitable
like a camouflaged soldier,
but i also couldn't get any bolder

I told myself that it would be alright,
although I'd mourn about it all night
I never thought it was right,
but it was just like a nightmare in the midst of night

all I could feel was isolation,
it was like my mouth was stuck in prison
I couldn't dare to speak,
I was scared to do so

no one ever listens,
even if I plead for help, shout or yelp,
I would not get any attention,
as I am not one to be mentioned

because it feels like I have a lump on my throat,
my voice sounding shaky and croak,
that's why I'd rather conceal
myself from your presence,
so you can no longer feel my existence
