Hi, hello, how you doin?
You don't know me, but I'm around
I'm one of the uninvited
Don't be too excited
I'm the one you forgot
The one who is there but isn't
I don't say a lot
I'm present but treated like I'm distant
I'll make you laugh just so you'll like me
But I'll get old and you'll leave
Standing in a crowd like a boring tree
Roots withered, leaves falling
I'm the one who was left at the store by his parents
The kid whose dumped for better friends
Never invited unless being used for a need
There's no one left here to even make amends
Call me a book
Because I've been Left Behind
Rewritten one too many times
Not even the after thought of the after party
Heck, not even at the party
I didn't know there was one
Hope your book club was fun
Your birthday cheerful
Your hang outs cool
Your coffee talks deep
I assume its a blast
I know enough to know you do these things
But I wouldn't know what its like
I'm the uninvited
