some people lack
charisma-
and that’s their super power;
to hide in plain sight,
to blend in a crowd,
to be a stranger all life,
even to ones who see them
every passing day -
These are the people
I sometimes wish to be -
some days I so badly need
this immunity from the world
of known faces , known feelings,
of advertised smiles
and so much shared pains.

It is good sometimes to get lost in the crowd.
I think we all need to lose ourselves at times.
I wish I could hide sometimes as well.
Who do you refer when you write this?
nearest i can think of is my sister .. so protected and aloof from most of the world. but i guess its a choice of hers. I made different choices.
Oh yes, I know this feelings! well captured here.
Yes, me too, at times.
is it really protected…to walk through life in the shadows? and what do you give up to do it?
Hi Lady, I have finally posted something on dVerse and I see you are already way ahead of me as are others. I really like this piece. Sometimes life feels like that…doesn’t it.
“For everything there is a season” but clearly not all the time the same. Why do we have day and night and the changing seasons? Surely there is time to shine and a time to be in shadow. Just be true to yourself.
So true, nice work with this prompt.
I’m testing the waters:

with a new blog idea.
Hope you’ll stop in soon.
I often find myself drawn to places where I can be invisible, to not interact with anyone who “knows” me or has preconceived ideas of who I am. I wonder though, am I more myself at those times or pretending to be someone else?
