~ Invisible ~

What would you say to a story been told
Of a woman I knew that was treated so cold

Her heart had been broken her body was worn
her spirit and nature had been shredded and torn

her good will had been taken her willingness used
left uncared and forgotten her love was abused

silent and unseen as those around her moved past
alone and afraid always being thought of last

except for the times when they needed her most
only then was she noticed & not an invisible ghost

no matter her sorrows no matter her criesWr
nobody sees her no matter how hard she tries

her family her friends, and yes even her child
their cruelties & evils remain unreconciled

do you think it unfair? Do you find it to be mean?
Would you change what you could to help this woman to be seen?

What would you say; I wonder what you would do
If I told you this woman was someone that you knew?

She is your daughter, your sister your wife
Your mother, your friend she is a part of your life

does this change how you feel to know someone you love
has been beaten & knocked down like a fighter without gloves?

will you choose to ignore it & the damage you’ve caused?
or remain as you are and go on living without pause

would you give it a thought to how this woman must feel
can you imagine existing in a world this unreal?

would you wipe away tears as they shed from her eyes
make right all the wrongs, make truth from your lies

could you stomach her grief and the loss of her soul?
hanging onto yourself without losing control

what would you say now the story has been told
open your eyes and watch your karma unfold
