The Invisible Man

• Artist: Pencil Thin Gentleman
• Description: I wrote this one here awhile ago, things at school were going rather insane as well as life itself- these feelings are still here, but I do note- that I am not completely invisible to those around me who I seemed to have touched in some way to have found a place in their heart.

Invisible, that's what I am, I can feel no doubt;
For even though I am here, you cannot hear my shout.

I'm not even gone, and yet I can hear your laughter;
To fit in among your crowd is not what I am after!
There I am, right next to you, can't you hear?
My voice whispering to you, that voice in your ear?

No, I thought not, even you can't hear me;
For the "Invisible Man" is what you cannot see.
You know I'm correct, I'm not "there" to anyone "here;"
That has always been my most secret and darkest fear.

My voice is not heard, never making it out;
You will never hear me because you chose this route!
Am I to suffer because of the blind can't see,
To loose myself because the deaf can't hear me?

Is there no way to get to you people, to make you open your eyes;
Is there not a way to make you hear, to get past your own lies?
And so I will slip away in my darkness, to fade from your sight forever;
But no one here will know, because to everyone here, "I was never..."
