Which is worse:
Not being needed
Not being cared for
Or not being wanted?

I would say
Being needed is nice
But someone could need you
Only for their own selfish benefit
So, I do not have to be needed.

And if I were not cared for
I would fend for myself
To keep my body from dying.
But I'd move on and care for others
To keep my soul alive.
So, I do not have to be cared for.

What about not being wanted?
Being wanted is what matters most to the heart.
If no one wants my help
And no one wants my care
And everyone rejects my love,
All that I'd have to offer,
Would be meaningless to everyone.
And my heart would cease to pulse.

This is why being unwanted is worse than being a ghost
Because everyone would see you doing caring acts
Everyone would hear you kindly offer your help
Everyone would feel how you want to give all your love.
But no one would want it.
So, I might as well be a dead body
That everyone is casually treading on.
