Am I invisible? I honestly don't know myself.

I literally don't know myself. Well, I guess there's no better way to start than introducing myself.

Hi, I'm Daisy.

I know you've heard that phrase so many times before and it probably gets on your nerves, right? Don't lie, you know it does.

You all probably know me as the princess of Sarassaland, saved by Mario from some freak alien guy named Tatanga...yada, yada, yada...

Labeled as a tomboy, hotheaded, anger issues, or just plain stupid.

Yeah, sounds crazy right? Some have called me stupid; annoying even. It's funny how people I don't even know call me annoying, and it's all from that one phrase you all hate so much.

Hi, I'm Daisy.

Anyway, let's talk about my friends. I've met plenty of great and...not so great people here in the Mushroom Kingdom. The Mario Brothers, for example.

Those two are amazing. Even though it was Mario who saved me from Tatanga, Luigi's still the cuter of the two. That's why I love him. But, does he love me?

He does the sweetest things for me, but, we hardly ever get to spend any time together anymore. Just...us...together...

Sorry, kinda got lost in my thoughts there for a second. Where was I? Oh, yeah.

Princess Peach, or Princess Toadstool if you prefer that.

She was the best friend I could ever ask for. Royalty's got to stick together right? R-Right?

Sometimes when I call her, she says: "I'm too busy", or "We'll talk later, okay?"

So, I'd wait for her to call back, and when she didn't, I called her again. All I'd hear was her voicemail.

I don't bother leaving messages anymore. Heh...I've lost track of how many I've left.

She rarely invites me over for cake with the others...

*Sniffle*

Oh! Sorry again! Got a little emotional there. I'm okay! I'm fine, really.

Oh, and there's that Rosalina gal. She doesn't talk much, at least...to me...

The only time I ever see her is when we get together for karting. Even then, she hardly ever talks to me.

I still remember that sleepover Peach and I had with her. She...said some things...and...it still kinda hurts..

Maybe if I hadn't insisted on that drinking game...things would've gone better...

God, why do have to be such an idiot?! No wonder she won't talk to me! She hates me!

No, Daisy, don't be ridiculous...That's not true! Haha...ha..ha...

Speaking of Rosi-I mean, Rosalina, (She doesn't like to be called Rosie) she got to go to the Sprixie kingdom with Mario, Luigi, Peach and Toad, and got into the next Smash Brothers! I sent her a congratulatory letter, but she never replied. Maybe she does hate me...

I've been waiting for such a long time to be invited to a Smash Brothers tournament, but still nothing.

At least I'm going to be in the next Mario Party. I suppose that's good news.

Oh, and guess what? Even Toad has his own game! TOAD, of all people! TOAD!

*Sigh*

Guess people were right about me being hotheaded.

But, it feels like others just ignore me or don't even know that I'm there. Almost like I'm...

Invisible...

I just put on my smiling mask and tell everyone that I'm alright. But underneath that mask, no one sees the tears. They don't hear the pain in my voice.

They just continue on their merry way without a second thought or worry. They don't hear the sorrow, or feel the coldness radiating off me.

They don't see when I shiver, or comfort me when I cry.

I don't think people know my name. They don't know that I'm here.

Whenever someone brings up my name, the other person would say: "Who?"

You don't know how much that hurts.

To know that your own existence doesn't matter. Even if Bowser kidnapped me, I don't think anyone would notice that I was gone.

If I permanently moved back to Sarassaland, I don't think anyone would care. They wouldn't even bid me goodbye...

Walking alone in those deserts. Tired, hungry, thirsty, scared, isolated. No one would care.

People walk past me without even saying hello. They hear my voice and turn the other way.

What am I still doing here then? If no one wants me here, why bother staying?

Was I a mistake? Was my birth a mistake?

Every day I look out my window and hear the birds chirping. But none landed on my windowsill.

I could hear them talking to each other. Singing, laughing, and enjoying each other's company.

Sometimes I wish I could lean out my window and just shout to the world:

Hi, I'm Daisy!

I know you're probably sick of me saying that. But I have to say it.

You'll probably tell me to shut up. Probably tell me to get over it.

Do you know why I say that?

To make my presence known. To let people know that I'm there.

They tell me to be quiet. Even then, they at least acknowledge me.

But that doesn't help the pain. The pain of knowing that nobody cares about you.

To know that your friends-your family wouldn't care if you were gone.

If I died today, or right this moment, who would show up at my funeral?

Some of you are probably telling me that it doesn't matter. Some even tell me to go ahead and kill myself.

Some try to lift me up, and tell me that it's alright. But, there's no reason to cheer me up. I'll always be the forgotten princess of Sarassaland.

Besides, there is always more hate than positive about me. I guess it doesn't matter anymore.

No one cares about me and no one ever will. No one pays attention to an insignificant shadow.

I guess this is goodbye.

Congratulations Rosalina for not only appearing in one game, but two. Congratulations Toad, for getting your own game. Peach, Mario, thanks for at least acknowledging me. Luigi, I love you.

I'm sorry I was ever born if I was just going to be a burden.

But, before I go, I just wanted to say this:

Hi, I'm Daisy.

I've said it a million times before, and I'll say it again.

Hi, I'm Daisy.

And I ask you a simple question, that I hope you will answer sincerely.

To whoever reads or finds this...

Am I invisible...?

With that, I say...goodbye...

Signed,
Princess Daisy of Sarassaland
