Invisible

I am invisible.
I am hidden from everyone.
I am a whisper in the wind, screaming for someone to hear me.
I am a shadow in the hall, pretending to be there.
I am concealed by everything they want me to be.
I am masked by the paths of my siblings before me.
I a clouded my all the things they expect me to be.
I am unnoticed by all the walks of life that go through the halls.
I am veiled by the mask I wear on my face.
I am covered by what I think everyone wants me to be.
I try to be what they want, but it's hard.
I wish that they would want me, the real me.
I know they wouldn't like that person, the real person inside of me.
I keep her inside, pushing her down, down, down, hoping she'll go away.
I know she won't though.
I hope and wish with all my heart that she'll go away.
I know she's never going anywhere.
I want to disappear, to leave and never come back.
I realize that no one will miss "me", the me they think they know.
I know how to be invisible, but I can't disappear completely.

Can someone, anyone, teach me to disappear?
