Invisible

Apparently I’m just an apparition
A lonely lost little girl
Sitting in the corner
Vying for attention
Trying like hell
To be something I’m not
And all it gets me is headaches
And all its worth is everything.

Transparent to the corporeal
All I wanted was what was mine by right
But it’s just something else
I’ve been denied
One more thing I couldn’t
Get my hands on
One last thing I couldn’t have.

But I’m just the invisible woman
Just another stone to be stepped on
Just one last plate glass panel to shatter.

Inadequate is all I’ve ever been.
