What could have been

I feel like a ghost a lot
Mostly because I seem to be invisible
I worry sometimes
That if people don't see me I might vanish

I have always been a ghost, I suppose
Always invisible
Always disappearing

I wasn't always like that
I had friends, family
But I left, leaving a hollow shell of myself

I could see myself and I tried to grab the shell
But I gave up, instead I just watched
I begged for everyone to see me but they left

Now I just stand by myself
And refuse to look at what could have been
I grab my mothers hand but she doesn't feel it

I tousle my brothers hair but he can't feel it
I laugh and joke with my friends
They can't hear it

I smile and laugh and sit by
Watching what could have been
