Invisibility was her natural superpower

She could do it every minute and every hour

She could miraculously hide herself away

She had absolutely nothing to say

Her mind had the words ready in a crowd

But her voice could never be heard aloud

Nobody could see her stare

Because she wasn’t really there

She could dress in red or green

And she wouldn’t actually be seen

She could do whatever she pleased

Nobody would notice if she sneezed

She could even take things and leave

But people wouldn’t in the slightest perceive

The signs that she had been present at all

Even if she suffered a terrible fall

But she is free now, happy and strong

The things she does usually never go wrong

Because invisibility is her incredible superpower

And she is proud of it like a radiant sunflower!
