what a terrible feeling
to be forgotten completely
id rather everyone notice my absence
as relief floods through their bodies
than for them to not even see
im no longer with them
too wrapped up in the people they truly care about
to make time for me
yet they want to pretend
as if they care how i feel
when im not smiling they all ask "whats wrong?"
like i would have ever crossed their minds
if i hadnt come out of hiding
i bet i could have stayed there for hours
days, even
and not a single person
would have wondered where i was
or thought to look for me
what a terrible feeling
to be forgotten completely
