Wishing i was blind

I am invisible.
But everyone can see me.
I am invisible
Because no one will look.

I stand here up front,
In front of them all.
I look at their faces,
But our eyes do not meet.

They look at my body
But my soul they don’t see
So I hide deep inside
Where they can never hurt me.

I’m sick of their stares
Sick of their words.
Language that means nothing
Eyes that say all.

Why should I come out
Of this hole I have dug?
In here I am safe
And they can't see me.

But if I come out
And face the light
They will laugh again
And I can't take their hate.
