Invisible Damage

 Half a lifetime ago her father made a pass at her

In all fairness, he was her step-father

In all fairness

Keep fat so no one will find her attractive
(overweight is overlooked)

Side effect
only those desperate, cruel, worthless
will see her

Be seen by her

Never totally in the now
she goes to places
creates places
where she felt
feels
alive
even when those memories
fantasies
are filled with fear and sadness

She's disconnected
causes no problems
unseen

She's left to lose her future
moment by moment
