A Broken Poet

I pass through life
like a shadow-

 

silently...
so no one hears my tears
seen...
but no one gives me a second thought.

 

I try to be invisible
but at the same time
hoping someone will see through
the disguise.

 

This mask of words
hides the truth;
I'm broken beneath
this pomp and circumstance.

 

If only someone...
anyone...
could read between the lines,
make sense of my madness.
