Beauty from Pain: Poetry of Brokenness

Invisible Girl

This is one of my first "good" poems i wrote. i *think* i wrote it around my junior year of high school (eg 2001-2002), but i'm not 100% on the timing. it's very much an angsty teen poem. but i like it.

Invisible Girl

Angela Mason

I am the invisible girl
Trying out my wings in this huge cold world
Breaking out of my shell
Trying to figure out what I do well
I will fear nothing, I will stand strong
Through all of the pain and all of the wrong
I will fight my fears I will fight it all
I know that in the end I will stand tall

I am the invisible girl
Slowly but surely showing this world
Who I am and how I act
The things I have and the things I lack
Someday this cocoon will explode
I will have finally broken the mold
That has held me back for so long
I will be singing a completely new song

So watch out world
For this is one invisible girl
Who will leave this place
Where she feels like a disgrace
She will mature and grow to be
The person that you can’t see
She will show the world
That she isn’t just an invisible girl
