When I'm sad I jam my knees up
I try to make myself as small as possible
So then people won't notice
The frown that imprints itself on my face
I can't help that I'm sad
When I'm alone I curl up
I pretend I'm invisible
Or the only one left
When the blood drips down my fingertips
When I look in the mirror and grin
As my reflection grimaces
I pretend I'm invisible
I think being invisible is fun
My reflection always grimaces these days
She used to smile so brightly
Now her eyes are half sunken
With bags under them
I don't think she likes being invisible
