They shuffle through their lives, lost in a world that has done them wrong.
They’re invisible.
They don’t speak up. They don’t speak out. Their opinions aren’t heard, because they are never expressed.
They’re invisible.
They have pains so deep that they hurt. Loves spurned. Relationships torn apart. Promises broken.
They’re invisible.
Their eyes never meet yours – looking down or away to avoid any questions. Can’t get personal or up close because they might get hurt again.
They’re invisible.
They live next door, or down the street, or in the apartment below you. You don’t know their name or their story.
They’re invisible.
They work in your department or on your tour or in the next office. They put their head down and do their duty. You never hear a thing about what goes on at home or in the heart or in the head.
They’re invisible.

“The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.” (Luke 4:18-19)
