The invisible man
The invisible man
He often goes unnoticed
The best disguise in the land

He can not get a sunburn
He can not get a tan
He's rarely ever thought of
Often has no dinner plans

He can be very elusive
His skills are heavy in demand
His credentials are impressive
Even worked for Uncle Sam

No one knows his story
Or how and when it all began
His laughter is contagious
Bottled lightning in a can

No one knows his true identity
It's been claimed to be a scam
The truth is very clear to see
Now I've told you all I can

His location is a secret
His whereabouts unknown
He enjoys the company of others
But mostly prefers his own

Despite his see through nature
He's complex and deep in thought
Always worrying about this and that
But mostly worried he'll be caught

His existence fascinating
To a multitude of men
To harness all his power
They'd do anything they can

So he must be cautious
Quiet and discrete
His characters in question
But the evidence is week

They once cornered him in an alley
A trap that someone planned
But I know he made it out ok
Because I am none other than....

The invisible man.

How do we change who we are?

The perception of yourself, from everywhere; near or far.

I've searched inward.
I had hoped something would jump out at me, but it did not.

If I could remember what I've forgotten, it would help thicken the plot..

I look at peoples ****** expressions as I gauge my retort.

I see disappointment in their faces, for something as trivial as the way I hold a fork.

I have a basic comprehension of how the world works.

I am often too difficult to read and come off as a ****.

I am quiet when there isn't much to say.

So I listen, and wait.

I ponder what I can add to any scenario or situation.

But I first have to rise above all my own mediocre expectations.

I pretend to be comfortable in the company of others.
Maybe it shows through?

There are many questions I ask myself, yet I get few answers.

What is it that separates you and I?

Where does the respect that people have for one another come from?

Where does it go?

What sets us apart?

Is it our upbringing?
Is it derived at birth?
Is our destiny laid before us, for all the years we walk the earth?

For my beliefs, I need permission
Wishing
Wishing never comes to fruition.

I enjoy my quiet, but often times gets dull.

Too much time spent thinking,
Can make one want to crack some skulls

What's wrong with me?

I say, "What's right with me?"

All anyone ever wants is acceptance,
Mixed with a little common decency.

Treating me as I treat you all in good harmony.

Synchronized in thought and sending out only good vibes.

A give and a take.

A Yin and a Yang.

Not the spewing of words.

Words spoken or not spoken; proper, or slang.

Just a general, fundamental statement to let us know we maintain .

Some acknowledgement.

We may inevitably, some day, drown in a pool of our own self pity.

But we do.

We do feel sorry for ourself.
"Poor me, can't ever catch a break."

Never made aware of it, until it's too late.

Dashing off, never to be seen again,
Like a high school prom date.

The ups and downs.
The highs and lows.
Bare naked to the world.
Totally exposed.
Underneath my color, coordinated clothes.

Knowing, isn't always the answer.

Doing, is.

Do it.

Just do it.

Let yourself win.

Look at me with your adoring eyes
Let me see what it is you see
In the reflection of your pupils
Please help me to believe

I've misplaced my perspective
I'm no sleuth or detective
The clues are all dried up by now
I'm much more inclined to be receptive

I can finally stop to listen
And hear what's in your heart
There's no time to be deceptive
My love for you is off the charts

Put your arms around me
Pull me closer in
Hug me with veracity
Your head under my chin

I just need a reminder
To help lift my self esteem
Why you allowed me to come into your life
And why we became a team

How you brought the smile back to my face
When I had self induced poverty
How I went from rags to riches
And found everything in you....that I'll ever need

Quietly
A sound permeates the air
Whispers through the monotony
But there's nothing for the eye to see

Not a word, not a word per se
Can cure my curiosity
Or help decipher the sound I hear
That draws me in;
Into a false sense of security

It's shielded by the breeze
That whisks about the trees
Illusively transparent
However puts my mind at ease

Does it come in peace
Or is it destined to deceive
Is it a subtle plea for help
What's it fighting to achieve

Shall I pay heed and embrace it
Or plummet to my knees
Demand its validation  
Or ask it what it needs

Is there a common language
That would lead me to believe
I should be in any danger
Or be obliged to feel relieved

It's awkward to describe it
Very difficult indeed
It's not the buzzing of the bees
Or crickets hidden in the weeds

Not a frog related bellow
Or hummingbird that sings
Not a cord struck on the cello
Or a ghost from Halloween

It's steadily approaching now
Almost within reach
Is it from another universe
From some unknown galaxy

Shall I stand in silence
Await the laser beams
Or be resigned to be a martyr
To do with as is pleased

I am one who's of sound mind
Despite what you may think
In fact, I feel a sense of clarity
Far from a hazy dream

There is an urge to disrupt the sound
Emit a high pitched frequency  
But that would defeat the purpose
For the answers that I seek

What is that sound I hear
Shall I run and disappear
Let's drop this whole masquerade  
Please reveal yourself to me

I promise I won't be upset
If you expose your well kept secret
All I'm asking is that this be resolved
Before I lay myself to sleep

Into the Cosmo's
SONIC BOOM!
Somewhere in outer space
Between the earth and moon
With little hesitation
No impending doom
Yet completely unattached
From gravitational pull
A natural disaster
To which no one is immune
The planets' aligned
From as far away as Neptune
Armed with radio waves
That never seem in tune
But resilient and proud
With something to prove
Past the horizon
Still tried and true
On its natural course
It's come now time to move
Take in all the air
Follow every clue
It never was a choice
That was given you to choose
So make a sound decision
Don't be unsure or aloof
I've become impatient
I don't mean to be rude
Set sail into the world
Release me from the womb
Head on back whenever
But don't come back so soon
Explore and seek your passion
Unlock the doors of every room
Until you find the answer
Whatever that it is
You were born to do

Words are just words
Until action takes place
Smiles last a while,
Don't let them go to waste
Good intentions are worthless
Some good deeds go unsung
You are the person you are
Until you are who you become
Change can be scary
Whether welcomed or not
What we learn about ourselves
Mustn't be forgot
What we put out into the universe
Is what we get back
Nothing comes from nothing
We must improve on what's lacked
Bend, do not break
Give, do not take
Be kind to each other
Be real, and not fake
It's never too late
To start a life you deem fit
It just takes a little know how
Elbow grease, and grit
Put your nose to the grind stone
Never ever give up
Give it all that you've got
Until you've had enough
Each day starts anew
You have from morning till night
To do what is required
To do what is right

I just want love
I pray to the heavens above
I just want love
No riches or material stuff
I only want love

I'd walk
To the ends of the earth
Through deserts
For all that it's worth
Just to have someone
To call my own
That I never
Again feel alone

I've spent years
Watching how others bond
Through long nights
Until the early morn
Holding hands
At the breaking of dawn
C'mon man, c'mon

I don't need much
I only want one
Make it fast
My life's almost gone
How much longer
Must I have to wait
Till she comes along
Till she comes along

I just want love
I pray to the heavens above
I just want love
You know what it is
That I'm speaking of
I just want love

Is she hiding
Somewhere in the crowd
Is she even standing
On solid ground
I'll keep on searching
Just point out the way
Nothing can ever
Lead me astray

Down the path
That leads to the unknown
I aim to roam
Any distance
Or close to home
To no longer
Feel all alone

I just want love
I pray to the heavens above
I just want love
You know what it is
That I'm speaking of
Give me love
Give me love
Give me love
