Invisible Poem by Jamey Einrem

People around me are laughing and having fun
I am there but no one notices
I try to talk but they walk away
I leave and no one notices
The space around me widens everywhere I go
Even when people are near
I am invisible
People talk to me when on one else is around
but I disappear as soon as someone enters
I see people enjoying each others company
but never see the same when they are with me
Conversations seem labored
Eye contact seems distant
Attention is faint
and love is nowhere to be found
