invisible

sometimes the best thoughts are the ones no one hears.

i stand in a crowd and nobody sees me.
i talk to someone and they look right through me.
i call out to someone and they don't hear me.
i command no attention, i expect no acknowledgment.
my thoughts are my own, my own they shall remain.
when they are mine, i am invisible. invisible and happy.
free to think as i will, free to do as i want.
i can laugh or cry, celebrate or fight.
when my thoughts are shared, suddenly,
i'm thrown into the spotlight.
