It's cold in here,
this corner, and crammed -
there is only room for one, who,
usually, is me;
This is the spot I'm reserved.
Funny, isn't it
how the shadows drape over my body
like invisibility;
You cannot see me but cleary,
I can see you, moving about
amongst the group of
brightly coloured people,
every move that you make recorded in my head.
I can get jealous of your social richness,
your simple mind, your face
heavy in paint.
Sometimes I wish I can think
like you, but then
I like being the mysterious one every
once in awhile.
It's a shame that they don't give me a
chance to shine,
brightly coloured, like them,
but I think this may have been of my own making -
this cold and isolated corner
probably does not even exist;
after all, there can be no corners in a space
with no walls.

You were able to feel everything you have a natural gift for showing your emotion. I loved the flow and emotion

I like being the mysterious one/every once in a while. An original write, which I think does fit in the contest.
Thank you for submitting it. -
oh wow now this one I can relate to very much. I often feel like I am invisible and that I am watching people and they can't or won't see me. That life goes on for everyone and it just passes me by. Good intense write. Flows wonderfully and holds ones attention very well. thanks for joining in my contest.

Very nicely done. I liked the scatteredness and the kind of thought pattern that seemed to change somewhat.

Wow... Well first things first. I get first comment! yay!!! *first comment dance* Alright then, here goes the other not so important stuff.
(Just kidding.)
This was amazing. I loved the flow and emotion behind it. The deeper meaning was simply amazing and this poem is just on a level all its own. Perfectly penned. Don't change a thing!
Infinate clappys my friend.
etc.
