Invisibility Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

No beginnings or ends, just solemn remembering focused on
vague images.

Alighting in a space somewhere outside of self, I recollect
and contemplate the life I have in me now.

Forward moving, piling on top of every little thing, standing
in my way.

Tapping inner resources, looking for a place to hide, wanting
to get away from the entire world for a while.

Searching catacombs of my mind for a corner just for myself
to retire.

Make-believe world where only I can shatter the dreams of
myself, where no one else may dare enter.

A shell filled with the sound of the ocean's roar which only
I can hear.

Invisibility of strength and courage cannot be questioned by
anyone, because they cannot see the truth even when looking
straight at it.
