Lonnie Hicks - Invisibility

Lonnie Hicks - Invisibility

Some of us are invisible br from birth br where who we are br is never noticed br never rewarded br sometimes scorned; br not pretty br not smart br not charming br just plain. br br Some of us br try br to get smart br put on gobs of make-up br learn how to charm br if not at least br to deceive br to present an image br slathering our hopes sometimes br on these. br br Some of us are too visible br too pretty br and we get the grabbers br the aggressive ones br the too-handsome br to-resist-mes br the anger br when these ploys br merely cloy br and ignored. br br They all feel br you've threatened them br with invisibility. br br Sad is knowing br none of most things br are not meant for you, br not aimed at you br aimed only at the 20 percent br of the super beautiful br the rich br the monied br the privileged br the super smart br the nice br the charming br the one's who matter br are seen. br br Invisibility br is the destructive cloak br the essence of destructive oppression br Rejections Unseen Motif br creating an opposite Demand To Be Seen br flamboyance; br if not loved br then some conclude I will be feared br some conclude if not loved br then I will retreat away br to find private solace br some conclude br if not loved br then I am liberated br to be myself.
