Invisible

The in between place

It’s lunchtime.
Eve isn’t at school,
so I’m alone again
absorbed in scared thoughts
about being seen
and being unseen.

What difference
does it make?

Being
ccccc unseen
makes you feel

invisible
nothing
worthless
ghostly
waste of space

Being
ccccc seen
makes you feel

exposed
vulnerable
different
judged
stripped of protection

Either way,
you’ll just feel bad,
breaking down by
the lack
or too much of
stares.

Is there an in between?
Is there a place where you can
feel good?

Probably not.
