The Best Poem Of Sheila Mitchell

Invisible Behind The Curtain

Listening to the world go by,
Knowing what time, it is,
As parents take their children to school,
Excited about their day ahead,
I know they're all there,
Do they know I am here?
Would they care,
Invisible behind the curtain,

Recognising some voices,
Imagining their stories,
Some I have given names,
Now characters on paper,
They share more each day,
Do they know I'm here?
Would they care,
Invisible behind the curtain

Sharing their laughter,
Exciting news announced,
An ear to all their secrets,
Lovers sharing too much,
I hide under the covers,
Do they know I'm here?
Would they care,
Invisible behind the curtain

Beautiful singing on a Saturday night,
Seagulls squawking 24/7,
All lucky to be alive,
Wives moaning about husbands,
Husbands moaning about wives,
Do they know I'm here?
Would they care,
How many are invisible behind curtains?
