INSIGNIFICANT

I speak,
But no one hears me
No one ever does
Or has
I’ve gotten used to it though
This life, that is
My life
Let’s face it
No one cares about me
I go unnoticed
Unwanted
Irrelevant . . .
There’s another word for what I am
I don’t detest my position, however
Like I said
I’ve gotten used to it
I suppose I deserve this, on some level
Don’t ask why:
It’s complicated
Everyone has a voice,
Supposedly
But that’s a lie
I don’t
I’m overlooked
Under looked . . .
Living in my own vast nothingness
It’s funny
A thought just came to me
Why am I writing this?
No one’s going to read it.
