Invisible

Hiding in the shadows

Invisible to those around me

Never seen for what I am worth

Lost in this cycle of ever trying

To invoke my serious growth

Yet all the world is too busy

To even care about my work

So I quit caring so long ago

And yet they have never noticed

I live my life as I see fit

In my world of imagination

And my own adventures

I do not need outside appreciation

Or awards that seem so fixed

Hiding my shadows watching

Till the time to rise comes to me

All seem to chase the glory

And end so fake with so many lies

I will not let you destroy my life

And let you fall in your own time

I enjoy writing for fun. I like to write for several genres including fantasy, poetry, and dystopian, but I am open to trying other genres too. It has been a source of stress relief from my busy life.

    So sad to read… “ Invisible to those around me Never seen for what I am worth Lost in this cycle of ever trying To invoke my serious growth Yet all the world is too busy To even care about my work” I wonder if people are careless or too self absorbed. Don’t give up!💖

  • This resonates a lot with me, especially with those in authority and the loudmouths

  • Yes we can wait for karma to get them. Loved your poem!
