Invisible Femme
I have a magic power
The power of invisibility
I do not want this power
This power has been bestowed to me
Unwilling
Unwanted
Unwished
I try to rip the shroud of invisibility off of me
I claw at it
I pull at it
I dig my nails into the fabric
I pass by my community invisible
Unseen
Ignored
A whisper in the wind
The only time I am visible is when men would like to ogle me
To flirt with me
To fix me
To show me I am wrong
I will take this no longer
I will destroy this invisibility cloak
I will tear it
I will undo its very seams
I will burn it and relish in its ashes
I will be seen by my community
I will be heard
I will be recognized
I will be celebrated
My femininity will no longer hide me from my queer brothers and sisters
I will lift my femininity up and praise it
For it is part of me
