Invisible
Love knows no boundaries, because love is a force that can penetrate a thousand walls guarding that one heart, all because you chose to love through actions and not feelings.
I’ve got this veil over my eyes and I can’t decide if it’s shielding me from this world or shielding the world from me.
On one hand it’s a blessing, but on the other I am invisible to everything I come in contact with.
A heart beating, a heart heard, but not seen.
Trying with all my might, I attempt to grasp reality, only reaching for air.
The very same air I breathe is made up of the voices of those that surround me.
I call out with a voice that pierces the night, a voice that’s heard, but not seen.
Surrounding me on all sides is a thick fog. Like denials, the fog hides me not only from the world, but who I am.
Even the flames burning with passion inside me can’t shine through.
Flames that burn brightly, flames that are heard, but not seen.
Blinded, grasping, shielded
Words that have come to describe struggles in our everyday life is now a direct reflection of what I’ve become.
Blinded by my past
Grasping for answers
Shielded from the real me
Invisible to even myself
But you see the key to unlocking my potential lies in being invisible.
Because it’s there where I learn to love myself again in order to remove the veil from my eyes, breathe the air of reality, that will in turn feed the flames of my soul, to where I’m finally seen.
Being invisible is okay, it’s just a protection because it allows us to focus on what really matters.
Sometimes being heard is all you need in order to be seen.
