Invisible

I’m just a quiet girl who no one really sees I smile even when I’m breaking deep inside I fall short, make mistakes - the girl they love to hate But maybe that’s okay, they just don’t know me I put on a brave face so no one sees what’s inside Won’t give in to fear, I’ll try to have some pride Another day, I go unseen, hoping someone will notice me Another hour drags by, each moment echoing the clock I push down the dread, clench my fists, quiet every fear The chaos inside me swells against the silence all around but I won’t let them see me break - I won’t make that mistake Loneliness never hears a silent cry Nothing to see here - I’m great, I’m fine, I’m just me. My best is never good enough, no matter how I try So I feign a confidence I’ve never really had Won’t give them the satisfaction - they’ll never see me cry Why can’t they see my pain? How come they don’t know my name? Am I that good at pretending, that I’ve found a happy ending? Is it that they just never cared? Or am I just alone and scared? The quiet ache of feeling unseen Why does no one see? Am I just invisible Since no one ever chooses me I must be invisible Otherwise, I know they’d see Don’t want to be invisible Please, let someone find me Nothing to see here - I’m great, I’m fine, I’m just me. My best is never good enough, no matter how I try So I feign a confidence I’ve never really had Won’t give them the satisfaction - they’ll never see me cry The faintest light still glows within, and tries to stay alive My heart grows weary and my body’s weak inside Meanwhile I feel a sense of guilt for hoping to be seen Am I selfish for wanting to be held, kept safe, and wanted Praying someone chooses me, as the one they never leave But it doesn’t really matter, because I’m invisible And there’s never going to be anyone Who takes a closer look, and sees me.
