He knows he is anonymous
They make him disappear
A coward in a corner of his own
A disconcerting negative
They wish he wasn’t here
A strange reclusive, better left alone
He knows that though he struggles no one cares
He pushes through the pressure of their stares
Unbroken by the weight of what he bears
He wants to be a part of it
He wants to find a friend
He wishes he was someone they could see
When every soul dismisses him
He cannot comprehend
The normal that he knows he’ll never be
He knows that though he struggles no one cares
He pushes through the pressure of their stares
Unbroken by the weight of what he bears
Why do they despise
The hunger in his eyes?
He sees their frigid faces
The pallor of these places
And he cries
He tries to be a something
But he knows that he is not
Until the most important penny drops
He calls upon his confidence
With everything he’s got
And screams to bring the stigma to a stop
He punches through the pressure of their stares
Alive at last, he shivers as he swears
With bitterness more bulletproof than theirs
He knows he was anonymous
They made him disappear
But no one can deny it now
The star inside him shines somehow
Invisible no longer
Astonishingly stronger
He was no one
Until now
