The Invisible

Tristan Robert Lange

Despondency is my eternal state;
I sit in company and yet alone
As life swirls around my dejected soul
And no one ever knows that I am here.
 
I sit in company and yet alone
I moan, I cry, and try to scream aloud
And no one ever knows that I am here.
I am present yet am invisible.
 
I moan, I cry, and try to scream aloud
For it makes me angry that I’m not heard.
I am present yet am invisible;
Damn! I am determined to here be known.
 
For it makes me angry that I am not heard;
Let me quick throw something that they can’t miss.
Damn! I am determined to here be known,
An isolated ghost enraged with life.

    A spot of dark humour from me - eh? where's this poem; can't see it; it's invisible! heehee.
    Hope I've not put my big foot in it. I've been known to make crass comments occasionally, which could be taken as insensitive.
    Bit like - I phoned the Samaritans but they were engaged! An awful joke there.

      LOL! Not taken insensitively at all! I appreciate the humor! 🤣 Thank you for reading and commenting! 🙏🖤❤️🖤

      Isolation felt more by some than others. Humans are social animals and we all feel lonliness from time to time but always would be very depressing and anger provoking. Ignored one of the worst punishments. A sad and powerful poem

        Indeed. To always be ignored would be terribly depressing and anger provoking. I am glad the poem resonated and am thankful for your engagement, my friend. 🙏🖤❤️🖤
