??????????

Perhaps I am invisible?
I used to think that way
That people always passed me by
Oblivious - I'd say
To who I was and how I looked
And what went on inside
Except to foot a bill or two
I might as well have died

I never really understood
I thought the world unkind
Until I pulled my blinders off
It took some time to find
Those people who would meet my gaze
And welcome me their way
Still now and then I feel alone
As I go through my day

With parts of me I choose to share
And parts I want to keep
All to myself - from dawn to dusk
Until I go to sleep
Or when I'm feeling underfed
And time for me to eat
Though I be dining all alone
The meal is not complete

Until I feel the urge to share
And offer up a taste
You say, "Why not?" Pull up a chair
This looks too good to waste.

If I am overlooked by most
Then so the deck be stacked
I relish what I finally know
I get what I attract

Inspired by the poem, Mmmm!
