No one tried to notice me,
They acknowledged I was there,
But they didn't really truly see,
They didn't have the time to care.
I was always present,
Like a shadow on the wall,
Always with them,
waiting silently,
For someone I knew to call.
But no one ever did,
I waited there in vain,
Never daring to speak out,
Restricted by my pain.
How I longed to be wanted,
For someone to make space,
So I could slip in next to them,
Have my own special place.
But I knew there never would,
Be a space made just for me,
I was an outcast on the outskirts,
Trying to get in desperately.
The more I tried to fit in,
The more obvious it became,
I wouldn't survive in this world,
Cause I couldn't play their game.
So now ill quietly leave,
Drifting day by day,
Wondering my own land,
Until I finally fade away.
I wont let them pity me,
I wont let them see me fall,
They'll only notice that im gone,
When there's no shadow on the wall.
wow..... beautifully written... d pain is so well described....
