Dark Spot by Amanda K. Dudley-Penn

Twisting through life not invisible but barely there.
Broken and Beaten and touched with penetrating stares. 
Acknowledged in speech but ignored in presence. 
But oh how hard are all these life lessons.
No chance of pride...No chance of conceit. 
Putting a bandage on when the heart bleeds.
Blending with darkness.  Faded to most.
Even in accomplishments, there is nothing to boast.
Looking out a window, nothing is there.
The mantra is that life is never fair.
Trembling lips and tear filled eyes.
Hidden behind all of those pretty lies.
Standing in a storm, the wind whipping around
Knowing without a doubt that no one is proud.
Used for the gift to push others far.
It doesn't matter as long they are stars.
Forcing a smile, Give it all you got.
They all wear white and you are just a dark spot.
