Invisible

I wish to be invisible

Silent and unseen

I wish to be invisible

So others can't be mean



I want to be invisible

Hidden from the world

I want to be invisible

To hide from jeers and taunts



I wish to be invisible

So I can slip by

Without being noticed

I want to be invisible



I wish to be invisible

To be able to have a day

When I can walk the halls

And have it not be my birthday



I wish to be invisible

Watching people pass by

Pass by without a word

To me...the not so invisible girl.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This is the way I feel everyday in high school. People pick on me because I'm different. Sometimes I do wish I was invisible.

Wow. I really loved ur poem. It was really great and easy to relate to. Even though it's such a basic thought, u turned it into a great poem. I really enjoyed reading it.

I loved this poem. There's something about its simplicity that just shouts out to me. Perhaps its because I have had this same feeling too, that many others have as well. It's rhyme scheme and meter also make it a bit easier to read and so that it flows much more nicely. The one section "I wish to be invisible/ To be able to have a day/ When I can walk the halls/ And not have it be my birthday" I think that it should be reworded somehow. The last line of that stanza is too long and seems sort of awkward when read. Other than that it's fabulous! Great job!
