The Invisible Girl
She looks to the sky
So innocent, so visible
but still not seen
She feels each tree
so young, so simple
but not understood
She does her best
she wants to be seen
but she's as transparent as glass
She feels like she's drowning
waves are crashing over her head
she's overwhelmed
But she can't explain this
no one will understand
so she says nothing
She has family all around
With masks of smiles and kindness
but she feels deeply alone
She's been to this place for years
She knows this place
but she feels lost in this place
No one understands
No one wants to understand
Why? Because no one wants to listen
No one listens
No one wants to listen
Why? Because no one wants to care
But no they want to care
they really do
but they can't
But no they want to listen
they really do
but they can't
But no they want to understand
they really do
but they can't
They can't care
They can't listen
They can't understand
The can only live in their bubbles
In their own little universe that's already been made
and they can't add this little invisible girl
The girl that needs to be understood
cared for
and listened to
So she makes up her mind
When the next wave crashes over her
She doesn't fight it she lets go
She lets go of life
