Invisible (poem)
Af Tor Skovsgaard

You see me
Assume I’m like you
A mistake like so many others
Invisible to the eye
Invisible in your mind
A mistake beyond caring
You should
Never interrupt your enemy
It shows so clearly
But you will never see
How nothing connects us
The distance distorted
Perception so perfectly
Ignorant
I have never been like you
But this is never seen
Will always oppose your views
Never interrupt your enemy
Your hate is unjustified
Nothing was done
Will you not leave us alone
You filthy fucking bigot
“Look at their otherness”
Just like me
“Isn’t it strange”
How you think me bleak
Leave us alone
And rot away in your hate
Never interrupt your enemy
When he is making a mistake
About the poem
