She wanted to be a veterinarian--
had a gentle hand with horses.
Someone told her she couldn’t
and she faded into the background.
Jesus loves the little children,
but sit up straight and spit out your gum.
Shuffled from house to house,
mom’s to dad’s—dad’s to mom’s
Jesus didn’t want her either.
she might as well be invisible.
Her hair hangs in her eyes,
hiding from a world that doesn’t want her.
If she can’t see them, they can’t see her.
And she stays invisible.
Everyone knows she’s rebellious:
pierced tongue, rose tattoo, clothed in black.
Look away--If you can’t see her, she can’t see you.
And she stays invisible.
Jesus loves the little children
and He wanted Kelley to know.
But they couldn’t be bothered with her
desperate cries for help
overlooked as cries for attention.
Kelley used to dream
before she was invisible.
Being seen means pain
and anonymity is comfortable.
Red lines cross her wrists.
