Invisible until I am not.
No one sees it,
Do I even see it?
I am what they would call a geek
Engrossed in books
But no,
there’s more
So much more.
It’s called layers,
I am more than one thing
More than just a pretty face.
More than just good grades.
Not seen behind the camera.
Mesmerized by a glowing screen
I am seen on the court.
Inside and out.
I am in the class,
on the stage.
I see it.
That glint in the eye.
I now see what no one else has.
I am connected,
these connections shape me
I am the person you see before you today
I am Mackenzie and so much more.
