Invisible
By anon, Age 13

I speak in silent words,
A speechless language,
No one listens.
I laugh in soundless bells,
Noiseless tones,
No one smiles with me.
I shed disguised pearls,
An unseen tribute to my sadness,
No one watches my tears.
I dress in hidden clothes,
Masking my soul,
No one notices.
I shout in voiceless screams,
Silent agony
No one hears.
I bleed imaginary blood,
Scarlet pools of pain,
No one observes
I touch with non-existant strokes,
Icy fingers brush warm skin,
But no one flinches
I walk with quiet footsteps,
Lonely impressions left in sand,
No one walks with me.
I dream in shadowy pictures,
Thoughts swirling in clouds,
No one sees my soul
I speak.
I laugh.
I cry.
I dress.
I scream.
I bleed.
I touch.
I walk.
I dream.
In silence.
I live,
In invisibility.
