I sit around

watching everyone else

as they exclude me

and leave me for others

 

I don't understand why

but it hurts

You'd think i'd be used to it by now

It's been happening since I was little

I'm always that person who gets replaced

when someone better

comes along

 

I guess I'm just not worth it

I guess I'm unimportant

to most people

They only want me

when they need me

and that tears me apart

 

I just want to be

Loved,

Valued

and Wanted
