The Invisible


Look at the stars,
gleaming and shining;
looking out for attention;
they have desired for long

not wary of themselves;
or the others gathered;
while basking in praises
for their talents

Look at the spectators;
always watching out;
for shiny stars;
ignoring invisible;
with hidden talents

Look at the Invisible
standing at the corner
waiting eagerly;
praising boasters;
undermining themselves
though they are better;
than the proclaimed shiny stars

Look at the Forgotten
waiting for chance
to redeem themselves;
to reclaim position;
and attention
lost in the war
against themselves
