Invisible Poem by Stevie Taite
Invisible
Did you spot the girl
Who sat all alone,
On a bench in a playground
Outcast and unknown? ......
The mates meet up early
To recall and recite
From the programmes they watched
On the previous night
The girl on the bench
Her eyes dart pensively
She doesn't join in
As she has no tv
The mates meet for break
Strong opinions they share
On what clothes they like
Trends in labels to wear
The girl on the bench
Turns away in her shame
She doesn't join in
Shabby clothes on her frame
The mates meet for lunch
The school rings with loud prattle
The alpha females
Choose a cage they can rattle
The girl on the bench
muted through her own choice
She doesn't join in
scared of her own small voice
The mates have a moan
At their parents restrictions
Loving guardian's angst
They interpret as friction.
The girl on the bench
Knows the deal she's been dealt
She doesn't join in
Little love has she felt
The mates gather up
Final bell has been rung
The school empties out
All except one...........
The girl on the bench
Sadly stands and walks home
How she longs to fit in
And not feel so alone.
Sad is right, but I guess compassion is something that we learn later in life, doesn't make it any less sad.
Very poignant - I know a little about feeling invisible as I was always very shy, so I can relate to this. Great write Stevie.
This was beautiful...describes perfectly the thoughts of the lonely girl who stands out as well as what goes on arounf her. Great work!
You've captured 'the girl on the bench' well. Her appearance. her thinking, her being. Thanks for sharing. The repetition of she doesn't join in adds a nice touch. Fav lines: Her eyes dart pensively. Turns away in her shame. scared of her own small voice
Nice presentation, and showing the real life in certain places that we rarely seen but commonly found everywhere....feeling invisible or we not watching what's the real..hard to say..but for this poem..lovely write i say_Soul
