I was born to be forgotten Swept under the rug I wasn't meant to be anything exceptional Just average As I grew older The teachers saw potential The ability to pick up things quickly And never yell, scream, or back-talk I am shy I never talk unless talked to Which leads people to think I don't exist People push past me in a hallway No acknowledging my existence And I wonder Do I exist? Some people don't realize I'm in their grade I slip by undetected Without a glance Without a word I was born to be misplaced And when you are born a certain way It seems that fate doesn't let you change So I will forever be Forgotten

Forgotten
I was born to be forgotten Swept under the rug I wasn't meant to be anything exceptional Just average As I grew older The teachers saw potential The ability to pick up things quickly And never yell, scream, or back-talk I am shy I never talk unless talked to Which leads people to think I don't exist People push past me in a hallway No acknowledging my existence And I wonder Do I exist? Some people don't realize I'm in their grade I slip by undetected Without a glance Without a word I was born to be misplaced And when you are born a certain way It seems that fate doesn't let you change So I will forever be Forgotten
