Invisible

I have always been invisible

The world never see's me but I've never asked to be seen

Whenever I am people try change who I am to fit them

They try to abuse, misuse, and silence me

The world is a cruel place, still til this day

I am underestimated and they knew that but tried anyway

I cannot be bought, enslaved, abused, misused, lied on, nor lie to

I applaud the world, they gave it their best shot

I am invisible but only not

The world sees me when they need a pawn

Too bad the didn't realized that they were the pawn all along

I sing and write my song, all alone and some of theirs too

Yet I am not the visible one but I didn't ask to be

The world is a miserable place

Why do we choose to chase?

We can't be traced

I am seen when I make noise because I refuse to be anyone's toy

Then the world calls me crazy

Hhhmmm funny because with all their hard work

They are the ones who truly ends up crazy

But hopefully they won't choke thinking they are the better part of the whole

Lied about to be cold, too bad I'm bold

Invisible to everyone, seen to everyone

True story told by no one

Except the only one to see me

ME

Jealousy by those who claimed supported me

Mirrored attempts to be me

The world is weird and say it's me

I agree but not like that though

I know my place and had to shake it up

There's a few in this race they lost their stake

I couldn't understand at first

Now I know that the reasons were

Because I was apart of a greater plan

I am the woman

I wasn't ever invisible

They just wanted me to feel that way

So they could veer my reactions

They cared to much to not pay me any attention

Now I am the one who don't care to see them

They had bad intentions to stop my future

Not my behavior because that wasn't ever bad

I know now that I wasn't invisible

The world saw me but they were jealous

I am the woman

Now the world is invisible to me but I chose to see
