Last Friday I found out what its like to not feel like a tree
Invisible and gone, they forgot about me
Like a ghost walking the crowded halls
Invisible and gone, they can’t feel me
I could break every law and rule
Invisible and gone, they wouldn’t see me
I could spill coffee all over myself
Invisible and gone, they can’t taste me
I could scream in the classroom or office
Invisible and gone, th...
Imagine feeling invisible to your own parents
I’m not talking old shit, but present tense
No matter how much you cry for them to see you
They complain and continue to do what they do
Imagine feeling invisible in this cruel world
Not only are you black, but you’re a black girl
Men constantly harassing you and making passes
Can’t call the cops with their trigger happy asses
Imagine, can you imagi...
He gazes at me, soft and warm,
But yet, somehow it seems to me,
His eyes no longer hold a storm,
They see me with uncertainty.
The air we breathe feels thin and cold,
A ghost of warmth where passion burned.
Conversations, hollow, fold,
Like fragile wings, at each word turned.
His heart, a garden parched and dry,
Once bloomed for me, a vibrant scene.
Now withers with each day gone by,
To him, I...
In the silence of my own mind,
I am lost, left far behind.
Invisible in the bustling Street,
A shadow falling at the world's feet.
No echo of my silent cries,
In the void where my spirit lies.
Unseen in the sea of faces,
I'm adrift in desolate spaces.
The laughter and joy, they pass me by,
As unseen as darkness in the night sky.
In the hush of the lonely night,
I vanish, out of mind, out of si...
I’ve heard that some people don’t have an internal monologue; they don’t hear their own voice, voicing all their thoughts out loud in their mind. When I first heard of it, I couldn’t comprehend it. If I was like that, how else would I be able to come to terms with all that’s happened in my life?
I make up conversations with myself in my own head, I make up possible scenarios in my head, I intervi...
What she does
Makes me fuss
You only tell me that I’m a cuss
You see her image perfectly,
But as for me you never see.
You never even talk to me,
That’s why I rant through poetry
Will you ever see me shine?
Will you ever see me fine?
Or will I ever stop to whine?
Will I always depend on wine?
I’ve showed you this true side of mine,
You always seem to draw a line.
I only hope you to see through ...
I walk by,
Try to laugh.
Try to smile,
As I pass.
“Hey, it’s me!”
“Again?”
The crinkle of disgust-
Their faces say it all.
I don’t need to talk,
It’d be like a brick wall.
I wave this time,
A friendly thing.
One girl looks up.
My heart starts to sing.
I smile.
Is it worthwhile?
She smiles too,
My heart skips a few.
“We don’t talk with Her.”
The other ones say.
Ever so suddenly,
She looks away...
I Lay On This Bed Comforted By A Blanket Of Money-
To Me That Is Sweeter Than The Sweetest Honey-
My Wardrobe Shares It’s Space With The Most Expensive Of Gowns-
Oh How They Make Me Feel As If I Could Drown-
Have You Seen My House-
It Makes Me Feel Like A Small Mouse-
It’s Filled With So Many Things-
Some Of Which Are Diamond Rings-
I Look In The Mirror To See Something Beautiful-
Yes Baby My Ar...
