I never thought that one day, I would become an actual phantom. It feels like the world is walking through me. Does anyone know that I'm here? Why doesn't anyone see that I'm a human being too? But I'm not the only one whose been treated like they were a shadow. My heart has been drenched in the shadows. The more I express my feelings to someone, the more my heart and I get pushed into the darkness. Can you people not see the pain that you bring me? The fake smile that I put on my face, everyday to hide my true side. My friend once told me that you have to learn how to hide your feelings or push them away. But what he fails to realize is that, no one is there for me. I'm invisible to the world. My heart is slowly dying in the darkness alone, but who cares, when no one can see you. Some people have told me that they've been hurt by other people. I try to step in and fill their hearts with joy, but sadly they just don't want that one person who's different. The one person that can make them happy is the one that you shut out, ignore, or push in the shadows. Now I understand why you can't see a shadow, or in my case, a phantom.
