I raise my hand Everyone else gets called on Except me I’m overlooked. I walk up to them I want to talk to them They turn to face me And go over to talk to their real friends. I’m insignificant I wish I could blame other people for Ignoring Me. But I can’t I’m worthless It’s not worth it To acknowledge me. These other people are not to blame These happy few Who run the world I am not one of them. I envy them Why are they so Significant? So worth-full? But I don’t deserve your attention I don’t deserve love As much as a strive, I will never Be worth it. It’s not their fault It’s not your fault It’s my fault I shouldn’t have been born. Overlooked Meek Insignificant Worthless I wonder why My mother did not cast me aside The moment she held me The moment she knew I was wrong What were her thoughts In that moment? Why did she think I should be kept? I think she thought she was Doing me a favor When in reality, she was only Prolonging the inevitable. Because of this, I know who I am Because of this, I know I am worthless. No one else knows this, though I am surprised I thought my inferiority oozed through my pores But it doesn’t. I thought they would be able to smell me But they can’t They look at me And they do not know. Wow It seems that I am so insignificant No one can noticed my worthlessness. I am insignificant But I am here Doomed to walk this Earth Alone. It is my curse for living.

Insignificant
