Invisible Me
What happens to you happens to me.
We all feel despair, and does it not
always feel like everything repeats?
Without a doubt, it is often our fault.
I know I do things to myself that puts
me in shambles, like if an invisible
me takes over me, and makes me do
things against my better nature.
I borrowed the book of loneliness
and never took it back. I read it often
and it has taken over me. My invisible
me is complicit. Soon it will be my only
friend. It will guide me into the fog.
It will whisper in my ear, “What happens
to you happens to me. We are both in
despair. You are invisible too.”
