Years of being ignored, seen as a no one
As I watch you and your friends always have fun
Why must you get all the spotlight?
Why must I still give more, even with all my might?
Constant yelling is all I’ve heard
Being seen with me in public is absurd
I’m always discarded, just an outcast
Now, all those times will be my last
She saw me as human, didn’t ignore me
Now, how long till you also see?
I want to share that spotlight with you
If only you allow me to
I also deserve the friends you’ve bonded with
I won’t make this just a myth
Does this mean I’m a bad person?
Does this mean my jealousy has worsened?
Now you and your band begin to sing
But I’ll no longer be watching from the wing
