I'm not as invisible as you make me feel
So let's make this one easy
I just won't exist
The air nonchalantly breathed in as if it did not affect
I am no more
Not because I hate, but because I can't
I'll pretend I never drank in your tranquility
I'll pretend it never made me stronger
I'll just pretend, I'll just dance on my I'm-okay stage
That I even tried
I am ashamed of my own face
The machine underneath
On autopilot
Why do I believe
Feeling
What the **** is that
It is not this word or this word or this word
There's no silver platter with my shoes for you to slip into
There's nothing left but me waving frantically
At a decaying wall, spray painted "I Was Here."
