tired_of_being_invisible Jenna It is amazing to me, that even though I see myself as large, as taking up a lot of space, how easily people can look right through me or act like I'm not there. I arrived at 10 and didn't even start having fun until the one person who can see me got off the stage (he's in the band) and talked to me for awhile. That was 1:00. I was completely invisible for 3 hours tonight. 020303 ... yummychuckle i understand to the extent that you think is possible for me to understand.... ( i dont like offending people by saying i understand because sometimes another person can never completely understand) 020303 ... farmfish underwater, that's where fish can't be seen. 020303 ... Mahayana [______________] 020304 ... silent storm I see you. 020304 ... tall dark and creepy birdmad i dunno, with a face like mine, invisible could only be a step up 020304 ... blown cherry I used to get really angry with the world because of it, but now, sometimes, I relish it, and I know it's my own doing. You get to notice all this stuff no one else notices when you're unobserved/ignored. And if I do get tired of it, I just wear a really low cut top, or do my "This one time, at band camp" routine, and be a public fool for a little bit, instead of just the private one I always am. 020305 ... SoulessWanderer Invisible_children running though halls, finding others like themselves. Age 2, 5, 10, 20, their parents never see them, never care. Destined to be transparent for eternity, yet have barriers of steel. Never letting anyone in, because they don't know how. Smiles fade like construction paper left in the sun as they learn who they aren't. They aren't the children their parents always wanted. They aren't good, they aren't pretty. They aren't special. They aren't loved. They retreat into their closets, and blanket forts, living in their mind. Nothing to keep them anchored to the real world. The Dreamers, the invisible. After 18 years of being invisible, you get a little tired of it. 040208 ... girl_jane What do I have to do to be seen? 040208 ... love & hate to the one i love the most, see me katie, i'm right here, bearing my heart and my soul in front of you for you to take off me. I want you, only you and nothing else in this world. We could live in some dingy little home that smells and has dodgy neighbours, but as long as its with you, i dont care, it doesnt matter one little bit! Please see me, open your eyes, open your heart, i am standing here naked in front of you with all of my flaws and scars, begging you to see me. To truly see me for the person you fell in love with. 040918 what's it to you? who go blather from
