everyday i watch from afar
watching others shine like stars
i'm in the background - dull and plain
this loneliness drives me insaneagain and again, though by now i should predict
forget how hard i try; it won't be me who gets picked
everyday i blend in with all the other people
ignored - never noticed - don't feel like their equalso i'll return to my sanctuary - out of sight; out of view
but tomorrow i have to come out anew
to mix with others who misunderstand me
to talk to those who can't see the real meall they see is my factitious façade
it's what i use as my shield; my guard
to protect myself from those who might hurt me
don't trust; just smile - on that we should agreefor people to notice me, how long will that take
i wonder if hoping for it is a mistake
i guess for now i'll stick my nose in a book
i'll wait for that day and see how long it took...
