Life is like the leaves on a tree
You start out small and motionless then gradually you will move with the wind.

As you grow older you start to try to hold on tighter to your branch so that the wind does not take you away, but yet you feel like you should just let go but before you are truly ready winter will come and make you leave the comforts of your home, your beautiful branch.

And in the human world this is true because while you are still in school you are surrounded by the love of family and friends but as soon as the time for you to go out on your own is here and you wonder if things will ever be the same because as you leave the branch you can not return and when you grow up you can never return to the age and size of a child.

Who is that in the shadows?
Always there, never seen.
They try to get noticed, but just get shoved back
Into the shadows, into the darkness
This person has a name, but most people call them “Invisible.”
Always pushed aside, never heard, never remembered,
Invisible as the day goes on, Invisible all the time.
When people are labeled as invisible, no one hears them,
No one understands them, no one sees them
No one cares to know who they are, no one asks about them.
They get the short end of the stick, always the last to be chosen.
The invisible people are the outcasts, the freaks,
the weirdos, and the losers. Everyone has their chance
to show who they are, but others ignore them,
All the while forgetting that at sometime in a person’s life,
They will be invisible to someone.

I love you, these three little words are the words you say to mean
but is that really what you mean?
Again you say those three little words and again I wonder if it is true.
You see it is not fair to do this but, I just wonder if you even know what those three little words mean.
So just stop and think, is this real or make believe?
At night I say this to you and there is no return but silence.
This all seems so fake, just look me in the eye and just once return those three little words that can mean oh so very much!
