Step inside.
"Hey."
"Hi."
Silence.
Nothing. Walk away.
Alone. No one but the girl in the mirror.
Dinner's made, eaten alone in her room.
Lucky if her mom's home to say goodnight.
Morning. Dark. Cold.
Alone. Make a lunch for sister and I.
Make breakfast for sister and I.
Lights on, sister appears.
Silence.
She takes her lunch, stows it away.
No look at me, nothing to say.
Father appears. Silent.
Sad, alone, cold.
No "good morning" no "thank you for breakfast."
As we leave mom appears.
No "good morning."
Father and sister already out the door.
I whisper goodbye.
She doesn't hear me. I cannot see her. Silence.
Outside. Dark. Cold.
The car ride is silent.
I sit in the back in unnoticed.
Am I invisible?
No, only in shadowed dark. Alone.
We arrive. Sister steps out.
I turn to leave.
"Have a good day sweetie."
Like sun coming through the clouds,
My smile breaks free. "You too."
I want to cry.

the begining is an exageration. my family does talk to me when i get home. a little. my mom is never home yet. i sit in my room doing homework and hardly see her save for the weekend. nights are quiet. mornings i am up by myself making lunch and breakfast for my older sister. not because i have to, but she will make us late if i don't do it. i sometimes see my mom in the morning, but we don't alk much. i want to though. and my dad is ever quiet. so this morning when i was cold and tired and sad i was really happy when he smiled and said have a good day.
