I sit in the shadows hiding
afraid of a world that will judge me
I cower from the sun
so that the world will not see
wanting to be ignored and forgotten
invisibility my primary goal
worried that the world would not approve
of this bitter blackened soul
I live and I breathe
the light how it sears
I hurt and I seethe
counting the years
I finally find myself alone
at the end of my days
who will remember me
amongst all the haze
the loneliness engulfs
and spreads its cold fingers
I use my best evasion
and yet still it lingers
I live and I breathe
The dark how it sears
I hurt and I seethe
lamenting the years
poetry
