Invisible Man

There’s always one in your world

A man you never see

Not the kind that gets unfurled

In your reality

There’s always one, who stands nearby

But never fits your gaze

Not the one who catches your eye

Or sets your heart ablaze

There’s always one, who treats you right

Without the need to show

No grand display, no need for light

Just more than you may know

There’s always one, you turn away

Without a second thought

Not the one you choose to stay

Or someone that you’ve sought

There’s always one, who holds his place

While others take the stage

A quieter strength, a steadier pace

That never fits the page

There’s always one, who plays it safe

Who doesn’t push too far

Who doesn’t live beyond the waif

Of whom you think we are

There’s always one, you never pick

Though he would always stay

Not fast, not loud, not chasing quick

Just built a different way

There’s always one, the same as them

The ones you run toward

Just without the brighter hem

Or edges you’ve adored

There’s always one, an invisible man

A moment never spent,

You’re so busy chasing Superman,

That you never see Clark Kent
