Invisible

She was secluded, she was alone. Even in a crowd of five hundred she was never seen. No one ever saw her, who she was, or even that she existed. She was invisible. Because of choices, of family, of circumstances, she was a nobody. No one cared no one wondered. But you would expect no less for someone on the outskirts of existence. Through hazy eyes she would watch people slip back and forth through her life. It was if the whole world was spinning yet she was the only one standing still. Frozen in time. Trudging through life. Pain overwhelmed her. She wanted to live....She wanted to love....She wanted to be noticed. But the heavy chains of the past held her back from pursuing life. The veil of darkness clouded her existence. She was in a tunnel of shadows unable to escape. The shadows were holding her captive. “Forgive me!” She screamed. “Please, forgive me....” She fell to the ground holding her head in her hands. Whispering all the time “forgive me.... forgive me....” All of the sudden she grew warm as if wrapped in a blanket. Then a light so bright came out of her. Horrible screams echoed through the tunnel as the light chased the shadows away. Standing to her feet she raised her hands to touch her warm radiant face. For once in her life she felt strong. Gathering all her strength she tore the chains holding her down from her arms and legs and hurtled them far away. Today she could start a new... Today she wouldn't have to be afraid anymore...Today she could enjoy life....Today she could shine....No longer would she be captive....No longer pulled away from existence...No longer invisible...She was noticed...She was strong...She was forgiven.
