Invisible

guess i am invisible again

can barely remember when

i was appreciated or acknowledged

in any way

have to say

every day taken for granted

do too much too fast

work myself to death alas

no breaks for me

why should there be

I AM INVISIBLE

bit off more than I could chew

nobody sees what I do

but need to waste my free time

with an hour lunch I'd rather skip that time

or at least cut in half

when I ask they just laugh

can't be accommodated

my request it outdated

out of sight out of mind

is what i find

i have bills to pay basically alone

can't afford to take out another loan

owe too much already

bills increase pay rate not steady

my needs have to be seen

know what i mean

is it possible

for me to be visible

i work behind the scenes

but think of all that means

and how much i do

and compensate me too

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Just so sick and tired of being taken for granted...I do so much and work so hard and am never recognized or appreciated and getting upset so wrote a poem about it at least something constructive came out of it...but, hey, what about me? I am here...I have needs too...whatever...Pam

Great poem, I know exactly how you feel, I feel the same way most of the time, it's usually the nice hardworking people who never get acknowleged and who end up being invisible.
