Disappearing Man

Step by step down the hall, Head hung low, gazing down. Healing from the fall, hurt covered with a frown. Others ignore him, Drowning in the pain. Holding you under, hope you can swim. sitting alone in the rain. He is an invisible boy She dodges the remark, Sliding past you in the hall, Soft spoken, gentle heart Healing from the sprawl, too afraid to start. Others ignore her, Engulfed by fear, movements a blur, all to avoid the sneer. She is an invisible girl. Energy finds each other Eyes meeting in the hall Encased by bodies smother Loneliness begins to loll. Then whisked away, Class starts anew, His/ her face in their minds shall play And their minds brew. He is an invisible boy, She is an invisible girl. He built up the courage, And walked up to her Freeing her from the cage Her mind began to stir, Their eyes meet, Acknowledge for the first time Bringing up a feeling that can’t be beat Excitement began to climb. The invisible girl and boy have been seen Now together they walk Side by side With no fear of the talk Their tears have dried Hearts jump in joy No longer afraid of the crowd One together, girl and boy Their heads shall not be bowed The invisible girl and invisible boy The girl and boy are not alone.
