Disappearing Act

They talk of parties

Of homework

Of friends

They do not speak to me,

And I am fine with that


This is my disappearing act.


I learn much by observation

And with quiet dedication

I listen to their secrets

They so carelessly say

Without having to speak at all


This is my disappearing act.


When they do notice me

They do not know what to say

I can see it in their eyes and body language

They are afraid


Scared of what I might know

Of what I might do

Of what I might say

They do not speak to me,

And I am fine with that


This is my disappearing act.
