incandescent

invisibility.

I used to want the attention of everyone around me.
My life revolved around it; I dreamt of being in the spotlight.
I'd wish and hope for lead role in every show I auditioned for, but it would slip through my fingers.
Now, though, I prefer the shadows to the sunlight.
I bask in invisibility, hiding myself from the world.
I observe the people around me, laughing and enjoying each other's company.
I sit back and wonder where the adventurous little girl I once was disappeared to, as I'd rather watch the rain fall than dance in the rays of light chasing after it.
