You possess a poignant yet somber gift born from the harsh realities of homelessness—a cloaking aura that renders you less noticeable to those around you. This isn’t magic; it’s the sad result of societal neglect. As you move silently through crowded streets, people’s eyes slide past you, focusing on anything but your presence. This involuntary invisibility isn’t a power you sought, but it’s one you’ve learned to navigate.
Your presence blurs at the edges, making it hard for anyone to pinpoint or recall details about you. When they try to focus, their minds fumble, hampered by unseen barriers. You exist in the periphery, a ghost in the public eye, remembered only as a fleeting shadow that fades as quickly as it appears.
Each step you take is wrapped in the silent acknowledgment of your condition—seen by many, recognized by few. Your journey through the streets is a testament to resilience and the will to exist despite being persistently overlooked by a world that finds it easier to ignore than to engage.
