nobody

2.

i was never one for the spotlight,

for much attention.

i was quite comfortable in the background.

until my invisibility

just about

became literal.

every photo i was in was gone.

every memory never spoken of again.

every one of my favourite people

finding better company in another.

it feels as if I'm the only one

who knows i still exist-

and even i doubt it sometimes.

everyone is happy,

perfectly content

without

me.

sometimes i wonder

if my purpose drowned

in the sea of my insecurity,

or if i ever really

had one

in the first place.

i feel as if

i'm so much further than the background.

i'm in the shadow

of the most unknown,

completely

by myself.

i was comfortable being known

to only those that mattered,

until my invisibility inflicted

everyone.

i was never one for the spotlight,

for much attention.

i was quite comfortable in the background.

but honestly,

i'm no longer there.

nobody is.
