The blinding lights fade to blackness,
The flash of light gone, losing interest in you
This world wants you to be visible by being invisible
To been seen is to be a face in a crowd
To be a voice worth hearing you must,
Raise your voice,
Shake your arms and legs,
And still you have to have the same opinion
Fade back, become
cellophane
Invisible to the world
Like the celestial body of Osiris
Fade into the crowd to become invisible
Yet you are more visible as crowd then as an individual today
So for now becoming invisible
is visible.
Line 1 and 2 have symbolism the light and blackness that I mention in the first to sentences is suppose represent visible in both along with blackness of being invisible.
Line 1 is imagery that is visual. I wanted to with this line
create a feeling of being visible with the light and then as you fade to
blackness you in a way become invisible
Line 2 is personification for a light can’t be interested in
a person, it’s a light, they don’t have a say in what it looks at.
Line 3 has an oxymoron in it with the saying that “to be
visible by being invisible” it’s an oxymoron in that the world play is supposed
to be funny in that the word visible is
to mean see, but to be seen you have to
become invisible, or not seen.
Line 4 has Irony because it says to be seen is to be a face
in the crowd, but if you have ever been in a crowd you know that it is one of
the times that you feel more invisible.
Line 5-8 this is supposed to be a hyperbole, exaggerating
how you can get yourself seen by doing those
things, which you don’t have to do but I wanted to try and prove a point, which
is it takes a lot to been seen anywhere.
Line 9 is a diction play; I used the word cellophane because
it is a different word for invisible. This is to wake up my readers and have a
change in the poem.
Line 11 has an allusion in it to Osiris and his celestial
body which is in Egyptian mythology, and is explained that it is just connected
to any body that is celestial becoming invisible.
