Feeling forgotten,
in a environment where it's common.
You leave me alone for days,
with no money or food,
and come back as if it's cool.
No call to tell me when you'll be back,
just leave and throw me around,
as if I were a stupid sack.
You come back from work with takeout food,
then say "oh yeah, I forgot about you."
Leave me to wait at school for hours,
while your home sleeping,
saying that you're really working.
I constantly lie saying your so great,
what am I saying,
you're actually a fake.
You say you're trying your best,
and I shouldn't complain for even a second.
But you do so many things for everyone,
though for me, it's nothing.
No food,
no time,
no love for me,
since I'm now forgotten you see.
