The Invisible

I want so badly to be special

To make myself think I'm unique

That I pretend that people care

When I do and do not speak

And maybe that is dumb to want—

I'm not so vain as to assume

My wish is as important as

Another's to avoid their tomb

Still I write this for the ones

Who have felt the same as I

Wishing they had something more

To catch even a single eye

You may not be seen or heard

I can't ignore this horrid fact

There may be nothing we can do

To try to change how others act

But know no matter how it feels

That you are not all that alone

As one of the invisible

You're one of us and you are known
