I am invisible

I am invisible
I am an Aboriginal man
And I live in Edmonton

I am invisible
You walk right through my space
And you don't even flinch

I am invisible
You never look at me
I might ask you for money

I am invisible
Until I walk into your store
Then everyone greets me
And follows me everywhere
Shadowing me in case I steal

I am invisible
I am an Aborignal man
And I live in Edmonton

I am invisible
Until I live in your building
Then you give me the once over
Three times up and down
Ending with a gaze upon my shoes
I am feeling judged

I am invisible
You never look at me
No smile ever on your face
I must remind you of someone
Some Aboriginal man

I am invisible
Immigrants ignore me too
My reputation has preceeded me

I am invisible
I am an Aboriginal man
And I live in Edmonton
