Cast Away

By Luis Porraz

How would I know I'm not invisible when you aren't there to tell me

My words scream for help, only to hear the echoes again and again

Engulfed by the emptiness but prevent showing any sign

Corroding from the inside out knowing this problem is mine

It's ok, I'm fine, it's what I always say but you'll never know

Because when I did all I ever saw was merciless ridicule

All I ever heard laughter with certainty

All I ever felt was a lash from rejection

A subject for societies objection...
