Hidden

At times I feel like I am hidden from the world.

People sometimes ignore me.

It's not like they do it purposefully. I have a quiet voice sometimes and they don't hear me.

Though there are times when I will suggest something, or say something of importance and no one will hear. Or perhaps they just don't care.

It happens quite often though.

It happens at school... At home... At work.

People just ignore me.

I guess sometimes it's a good thing. Other times I wish I wasn't so hidden.

Invisibility means that I am left alone.

But it means I am lonely. I don't want to be lonely. I may sound like a major attention seeker. But I am not. Not always. In fact, I hide myself away purposefully sometimes.

But that is when I don't want interaction. I'll put in my headphones and crack open a book and no one will bother me. They will pretend that I don't exist. And that makes me happy sometimes. I like being alone then.

But when I don't want to be alone.

When I want the attention and no one gives it.

I feel the loneliness seep in. And I don't want it anymore.
