Everyday I catch them staring
\nTrying to figure out if they should trust me
\nTrying to decide whether they should give
\nOr if they should pretend I don’t exist
\nBut out here I am invisible whether they physically see me or not
\nI feel worthless
\nIt’s like every time I try to dig myself out of this pit I slip In deeper
\nEvery night is almost always sleepless
\nTrying not to get raped or robbed
\nPraying that it doesn’t rain
\nI’m fighting for life but all they’ll ever see is a beggar
\nOr someone pretending to be
\nSO I AM INVISIBLE
\nI’m invisible because they will never know my story because they can only see my situation
\nOr at least part of it
\nThey will never know me because they are afraid to ask
\nI will always be someone who probably didn’t try hard enough
\nTo them I’m just a good deed to help them get one step closer to heaven<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
