Can you see me?

Most people don't know me.

It's hard to know someone who tries so hard to go unseen.

But I've gotten used to being unnoticed

And when someone sees through my cloak of invisibility I get scared.

If they can see through this wall around me, what else can they see

What else do they know about me?

What if they can see into my past and read every flaw, mistake, and wrong

What if they can tell when I'm acting

When I'm covering up my true feelings?

Most people don't know me.

I like it that way.

No questions to answer

No worrying about what others think

It isn't so bad being a background character

I've learned to notice the things most people overlook

Small details like the glint in the eyes or a twitch of the pinky

Most people don't know me

Most days I like it that way

But some days, I wish someone would tell me they can see me
