The invisible person

'Life kept rolling her over like a piece of driftwood

 in the surf of an angry sea  
 she was intelligent and beautiful and well-off 

she made friends easily yet she wasn’t

able to put the pieces together

into any recognizable shape

she wasn’t sure who she wanted to be 

so she ended up being no one in particular

she made herself almost invisible 

she was the person you loved so much who really wasn’t there at all.'
