I used to think it was a bad thing to be invisible

To be undesired, to go unnoticed


But when nobody is looking

I can be who I was meant to be

I can ride the waves I am meant to ride


When nobody is looking

There are no expectations

No diets, no standards, no hesitationa

One can just BE


When nobody is looking

I'm not mimicking or importing other people's desires

This car, that house, that life


Why would I choose prison

When I can free myself completely?
