Priority

I do sometimes wish I was someone's want. 

Someone's need. Someone's first thought. Someone's priority.

I don't really understand it... Why am I always the one to make plans?

Why am I always the one to ask first?

Why am I always the one who get cancelled on at short notice?

The one people think it's okay to bail on?

The one they find it easiest to forget about.


I don't want to be that. I want to have friends I know care about me. I want friends who message me first to ask if we should catch up. I want friends who want to talk to me all the time. I want friends who will give me the time of day when I ask for it, or don't ask for it. I don't think that's asking too much. I don't think that's asking too little. If there's 7.753 billion people in the world, how am I nobodies priority.
