there are days
a wake up call
things to be enjoyed
not going well
a self awareness
of ones self
outside looking in
as others see
female gender
casual encounter
being polite
no hint of
interest
ego takes hit
confidence ebbs
sometimes it
matters
can't shake it off
reaching the age
of invisibility
the feeling of alone
in a crowded room
this will pass
understood
not unique
in this feeling
but when senses
reel
perception is reality
down day will go away
bluster of salesman
will hide insecurity
once more
and understand
the invisible man

The ones who count will always see you.
Cow decided her earlier post wasn't as kind as she wanted it to be and must agree with Linda: the people who count will see you. Don't feel down and invisible!
Kind moo!
Moo
all comments are welcome.

I hope with rose colored glasses!
"Reaching the age of invisibility."
You don't need to be single to get there!
I had given up hope of meeting someone when I was in my 30s. I tried a telephone dating service and met my match. We've been together for 15 year plus. Have you thought of online matches? I've heard good things about them.

Don't get me wrong, I am married. see my post http://rjacobpost.blogspot.com/2009/08/road-trip-part-deux.html for details. This was a feeling I had while at a golf tournament i was playing at. While talking to some of the women of all ages, working the event, it seemed to me a lack of interest in me as a guy which left me feeling kind of blue. It lasted a couple of days. I am ok now. Everyone wants to feel atractive and I felt I had lost that.
Wow--synchronicity!
I'm going to be calling on you as I work on my next project, Invisible No More! An Aging Nymph's Guide to Getting Noticed at 40, 50, and Beyond. I was envisioning it to be geared to women, and earlier today when I was driving around doing errands, it hit me that this may be a topic for men as well. I think women would be surprised to learn that men, too, sometimes feel invisible.

The invisible part I had remembered from a line from Linda and her Twaddle in her post, Bond Girl,(Most females will realise this fact. As you get older you become invisible.)
It popped up in my mind, and wouldn't leave me for a few days.
It seemed it was my turn.
Ha ha! I had it ALL wrong, didn't I? Sorry about that. This is what comes of not being able to keep up with everyone.
I am glad to know that you are not alone. You poem certainly could be construed as a lament for love.
