It might be hard to believe.
The person you know here
has the power of invisibility!
I can fade away in front of
your eyes. Not seen or heard.
Sometimes I am loud I know.
Bright colors. Big ideas.
Opinions and passions.
Too often though I choose
to fade away from those
who don’t understand me.
I’m weird. I know. Stranger.
My faith, my ideas, my love.
It doesn’t make sense to you.
But it it perfectly sane to me.
This wild ride I choose to live.
From you so much is invisible.
You should do this. That. ?
Why would I settle for the
safe route, paved and marked?
The unmarked trail. The road
pioneers dare to break in the
wilderness. That’s for me!
Settle down they say. Grow up.
Stay alive! Grow older. Wiser.
Dance to music only we can hear.
You sing the song to my heart.
Our path invisible to those
who only know marked roads.
The rat race would have us
die in the starting blocks.
Living on old safe cheese.
I go. I smile. I fade away.
Taking my colors with me.
The riot of sounds too.
I’ll happily leave you
with your safe palettes.
Me, I’m painting as I go.
No paint by numbers.
Don’t stay in the lines!
Life a living art, alive.
I might be invisible.
And that is safe for you.
I like being invisible.
You should try it. Yes.
It is so freeing to be
outside of the frame.
Out in the freedom.
Free to think. To feel.
No need to explain.
Being invisible isn’t
all bad, especially now
that you can see me!
