Nobody recognised me for who I really am

They looked but couldn't see

Staring right at me but there was no reaction

It was not easy when they couldn't see

They thought they could see right through me

Even those standing right next to me were not aware that I was right there

Standing there feeling empty

Everything felt hollow

Everyone looking everywhere

The blank stares were penetrating

Being unseen

It was not easy to redeem my self esteem

Right there standing in the light beam

It felt like a dream

But it would seem that no one was keen

Not even to glean that others felt like a fiend

Feeling obsolete even incomplete

Hopefully this was not a defeat

This could have been a plan

Affecting my entire lifespan

It was not easy being The Invisible Man
