To Be Me

To Be Me

Sometimes, I feel invisible

Sometimes, I feel like I am not here

My words cannot be heard

I’m unable to speak

I may as well, disappear in a puff of rainbow smoke

Like a floating cloud

I will disappear into the thin air

I breathe

Sometimes, you don’t see me

I’m covered in a heavy cloud

No one hears me shout

The world is deaf to me

I feel alone in this new world

Sometimes, it doesn’t feel like it used to be

I don’t want to disappear

I want the world to hear what I have to say

I don’t want to just float away

I want to stand firm in the world

I once knew

I see a beautiful cloud in front of me

I want to hear your voice

I want to listen to you talk

In a world that is familiar to us all

Once more

I want to feel like I used to

Before the world changed

Now tears of rain does pour

One day the sun will shine once again

I am no longer hiding behind the thick distorted clouds

I breathe in the fresh air

I’m no longer alone

The world once again sees me

This cloud no longer covers me

I am free

To be me
