Alone by Amanda K. Dudley-Penn

A Wisp, A Whisper, and I fade away.  

I wish my voice was sealed with nothing to say.

Vanishing into darkness but no one sees.

It doesn't matter...They don't really see me.

If I stood in the open...In the light.

I would be invisible.  They'd still walk by.

A seal...A syllable...But it's all wrong.

I realize I've stood alone all along.

Silent in the noise.  Alone in a crowded place.

A tremble down my spine.  My heart starts to race.

A breath...I breathe in and push it out.

I press my lips together, trying not to shout.

A shutter works through me but I still smile.

A hidden annoyance...All the while.
Bye...Good-bye.  I vanish away.
I walk, I speak but my soul fades.
I wonder how long it will last this time.
Silence is golden but I shout inside.
A wisp...A whisper I fade away.
I wish my voice was sealed so I don't bring pain.
