The Invisible Child

by Charlotte   Nov 24, 2004


It’s like I’m invisible to my family
When I speak no one bothers to listen
No one gives a damn about my opinion
Or what suggestions I might have to offer

I speak louder thinking maybe they didn’t hear
But I’m only lying to myself
They heard my annoying voice say something
But it was just a bunch of nonsense to them

Im so sick of constantly being ignored
Being the one that no one cares about
The one that everyone can push around
The worthless one in the family

It stabs my heart every time you pretend not to hear
You don’t see the pain in my eyes or the tears forming
But I won’t let these sorrowful droplets fall not ever
I refuse to give you the satisfaction even though you have no idea

Instead I’ll just bottle my hurt up along with the rest of it
Pretending that I’m fine like I do every day
Or maybe I’ll just turn to my bestfriend, the knife
And let that sweet relief flow freely away

Either way I’ll be left with permanent scars
Whether they’re emotional or they’re physical
I’ll be left with them for the rest of my life
But you’ll never know what you do to me
