Invisible Poem by Joan Hart

I want to disappear
To melt out of my skin
Away from prying eyes that burn -
They'll never pry again

To sink into the tile
To become one with the wall
A camouflage to hide me
Invisible to all

I’ll hide here in the shadows
I’ll watch, silent and free
Here with no one watching
I finally feel like me

My acts aren’t guarded, my words flow thoughtless
No one can bring me down
I scream and smile and cry and laugh
All without a sound

Maybe I’d get lonely
I’d miss a human’s touch
But the price is high for touches
I don’t think I’d miss much

So let me be invisible,
To walk the world unseen
I’ll ponder life in silence
Find out what the quiet means
