It
is said that the meek shall inherit the earth, but, let’s be honest, pretty
quickly after they do, someone will come along and swindle them out of it.
The
Meek are a strange group of people who live in the shadows of others, watching
from a safe distance before shuffling off to their dwellings to mull over their
fate in life, their numbers are unknown as no one has ever really cared to look
into it.
I
met a meek person once, a while back, she called herself `One of the unseen`,
one of the invisible, I was going to ask her if she could see other meek, other
invisible people, but I forgot and walked away, and it wasn’t until later that
I realised but by then she had gone.
I
started an experiment to study them, to keep track of them as I tried to
understand their habits and lifestyles. I found that `The Invisible` tend to
live in a state of almost poverty, shunning their materialistic needs, for a
more simpler lifestyle, they avoid gatherings and parties, so live well on
their own without the need of others company.
As
an experiment, I gave up a lot of my social comforts; I reduced myself down to
a smaller existence and started to avoid the eye contact of others. Initially,
people tried to talk to me, to check and see what was wrong, but after a day or
two they left me to it with only a small few of my friends who tried to
maintain some form of contact, but even they eventually left me.
I
have to say, for the first few weeks I felt so isolated, so alone that my life
turned dark and soulless which surprised me, in a city of half a million it is
amazing how alone you can feel, how insular you become.
After
a month, and my experiment completed and I tried to return to my normal way of
life I found my path removed, I tried to talk to my friends but my voice was
weak and they walked by without acknowledging me, so, after a day I returned to
my existence.
It
seems that once you turn invisible, it is very difficult to break free, to gain
the strength to pull yourself out of the reality you have created round yourself.
So,
now I write this down in the hope that someone will read it, someone will take
the time to understand my predicament and help me.
I
don’t want to be invisible anymore.
Please
help.
