I was invisible today!

I watched as they came and went as I strolled along the blocks filled with merchants and and sale seekers.  I passed by fruit stands and was treated to there aroma.  People and conversations passed through me. I could feel my feet hit the pavement but no sound, Drowned out by the crowd surrounding me.  I bet if I screamed no one would  hear me. The worker bees and busy ants are out and about completing there task for the day. Am I the only one who does not have a destination?

Smoke fills my lungs followed by thirst and a sadness.  Self pity overcomes me and I am lost in my thoughts.  I am a well dressed homeless,  an educated begger.  I pause for a moment to take a good look at my surroundings.  I wondered if the man standing by the fruit  stand feels this way, or the young mother with her new born.  I have become a victim of my own dreams, helplessly watching as I am left with the choice of accepting the reality of which I have been presented.

I am awakened by the sound of the trains above me, and the cars at my feet. Across the street high school love and mischief are waiting for the 9 bus.  I look at them so care free unaware of the life that lies ahead for some.  Ten years from now one of then will be where I am standing  watching the circle of life take place.

  I am Invisible today! All conversations and battles today are within me.

    I sometimes feel invisible. But with me, it is a choice.

I do not no what to say but, hey Soul Cast....
Truth is truth, right? I mean, there can only be one overall ultimate truth. If there were more than one truth and they clashed or did not fit in with each other then the universe would come to an end would it not?

So what the hel...
