Unseen

I am continually walked on
I get hit by falling leaves
I drown underneath the pouring rain
I am always dirty
I can be covered in scattered rubbish
I am filled with cracks and spaces
I live a dull life being unattractive
I am the canvas for obscene graffiti
I am the limelight under a shinning sun
I am narrow or sometimes obese
I join with my friends to turn a corner
I will run at any angle I'm needed to
I can be man made to assist human life
I am congested at the busiest of times
I am a safe zone for pedestrians
I am a footpath
