Invisible Poem, by tommytoons, at My poetic side

Invisible (Tom Entrican)

Have you ever sheltered, so as not to be found

Hidden under your covers in case someone’s around

Do you search for the quiet where no one has been

In hopes that you never again will be seen

Have you closed all the shades and locked it up tight

And hidden in closets to block out the light

If your name is called and no answer you give

Thinking why should they care about how I live

Do you faint at the thought of not being alone

Have you posted “Don’t knock because nobody’s home”

Do you always seek refuge when someone comes near

Does the thought of companions bring you such fear

If the earth opened up would you jump down inside

In complete desperation for some place to hide

But perhaps your problem is not about them

Maybe they avoid you because you don’t want friends

Invisible
