INVISIBLE TO THE WORLD

A life of turbulence

INVISIBLE TO THE WORLD

INVISIBLE TO THE WORLD 

DEPRESSION IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT 
FRUSTRATION IS AS A WINGLESS BIRD 
THE NEW DAY CHANGES NOTHING IN MY LIFE 
AND I AM INVISIBLE TO THE WORLD.

THE WORLD IS SHOWERED WITH ROSES
BUT I LAY MY HEAD ON THORNS 
EACH DAY A NEW LIFE IS CELEBRATED 
WITH JOY AND HAPPINESS 
WHILE I CURSE THE DAY I WAS BORN.

SHOW ME THE WAY 
TO THE BELLY BUTTON OF THE EARTH 
LET ME EVERMORE SLEEP IN DARKNESS ALONE 
LOVE HAS CLOSED ITS EYES TO MY SOUL 
AND I AM LIKE THE WIND 
INVISIBLE TO THE WORLD.

WILFORD BARKER.
