Invisible Poem by Amber Millar

I try to be invisible,
Because if I'm invisible then no one can see my tears,
No one can see me when I fall to pieces,
If I was invisible, I could break down and no one would see,
If I could melt into the darkness like smoke,
Then I wouldn't have to make them understand,
If I could disappear, no one would remember,
I'd just be a voice they recognise but can't quite place,
I'd be the person they knew, not a person they know,
I cry in the rain so no one sees,
That's the closest I can get to being invisible right now,
But I'll try,
I want to slowly fade away until you can see through my skin,
Through my flesh, skin and bone,
Let me fade away.
