Invisible

Invisible child.
She mattered to no one.
Silent cries
Alone in the darkness
Hiding; in plain sight.
Did they even know her name?
Her life a secret
Her existence unknown.
Slowly she fades,
Fades away into nothing.
Will anyone notice?
Will the world be changed?
Invisible child,
No one there to hear her cries.

(Clearly I'm processing a lot of stuff right now.  It's been a bit rough.  I'll try to write more about it later.  On the gratitude side of things...I have internet!  Yay!  I also got my furniture delivered so I have a real bed now and a couch.  I'm really excited about both but especially the couch because I've never bought a couch before so it was kind of a big deal for me to pick it out and get it delivered. :)
