invisible children

I am one of the invisible children

nobody sees me

I'm like a sheet of cellophane

I cause no trouble

I am only transparent

there is no reason

to know me by my name

but I am here all the same

taking up space

running in place

at the back of the line

of the human race

I am here all the same

I am one of the invisible children

I look to others

to see who I could be

I am not like the others

I always obey

I give no reason

to ever notice me
