Replaceable

The feeling of being replaceable is easily one of the ********* feelings in the world

You feel like your presence doesn't make an impact enough on a person that you can be so easily thrown out and replaced by a better person

You feel like if you leave you won't even leave a void and space where you once were

Maybe just a mark, a minimal trace but before they can feel that you're gone, someone new slips in

It's like trying to prove your worth and make someone realize how important you are so you keep a distance

But instead of longing for you, they replace you

 

I'm not some object you got at the store that you can replace when you're tired of me

I don't have a warranty, I have feelings

I don't want to be the girl who can easily slip through your fingers

Scratch that, I DO want to be the girl who can easily slip through your fingers but you choose to keep your fingers tightly packed because you know if you lose me you can't find another me among the 7 billion people in the world

I want you to know my worth

I know I have troubles seeing that myself

But I hope you see the light that shines through the cracks on my skin when I'm too sick of myself to look in the mirror

I hope you see the little hidden things and quirks of mine that I'm too blind to see

I hope you realize that no matter how many girls you talk to, time after time,

None of them can ever

Or will ever

Replace me
