I am Secluded
I am Forlorn
my world is invisible
and so is my life
it gets lonely, so
I take up balloons
in order to
fly away from my life
I am carried away
and far below
I see
girls dressed up as princesses
boys playing on the grass
and teenagers skipping school
I drift down to them
Stop, go back to school
I try to say
they just laugh among themselves
and ignore me
I am secluded
I am Forlorn

The author's comments:
I saw a picture of an invisible person holding balloons, and I thought to myself "how do they feel about being invisible?" because when i was little, I always wanted to be invisible, but if nobody can see you, how much fun would it be/ no one would know where you are, so you would always win at tag, but with out any challenges. And what is the point of life without challenges?
