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.
