[Lyric] Watch Us Rise page 21 (Renee Watson and Ellen Hagan)

"If I had a superpower it would be to make myself invisible. Not so I could eavesdrop on people's conversations to see if they were talking about me -- although that would be pretty cool. I would use it only in moments when being seen causes me to feel like nothing. Like right now. Everywhere I turn, I am reminded that something is wrong with me. Today, it's the posters plastered on the dignity tile walls of the subway station at 135th and St.Nicholas. I'm heading upstairs from Harlem to get to school, and this is not what I want to see first thing in the morning"(page 21).
