Invisible Me
An Acrostic
I ncognito, unseen; thus I remain
N onextant to any who matter
V alueless to all, including myself
I drift, aimless, alone, lonely
S urrounded by people, yet unnoticed
I ndigenous to no tribe, alienated
B lameless by default
L acking importance
E ven my family, my parents, don't see me
M ortality my only hope
E very day I fade a little more

On Winning and Losing
Recently, the pleasant surprise of placement on the Vocal Bonus Leaderboard sent me down a rabbit hole. Now, rabbit holes are a pretty common place for me to spend time, but I don't always feel the call to write about them. To be honest, the thought of sharing some of them mortifies me.
