Invisible Me

I am from a place where

Dreams are battered, never to be completed

the hopes of those who are

poor and work just to stay alive

for their families are great

but few of them can continue

day in day out families leave losing

most of their friendships and their

once bright future.

Our home I was born and raised in

I slowly started to see

my friends disappear

Into the shadows of greed

I could not see

For even my family fell for it

Pushed out our own home

lost in a world we can’t see

breaking apart where my name was nothing but

I can only see a crimson red knife pierced through the dreams

Of what others once saw in themselves

Now being

Broken apart

As I see it all fall down
