I got so used to
being backgrounds
and shadows
and afterthoughts
that I came to think of
myself as such
I didn't realize
whether I had any
value or worth
because I always let
other people determine this
even when I tried
hoping for better days
praying for some
sense of peace
I didn't mind being
the quiet, the calm
the side stop
in other people's travels
I was never so fond
of spotlights and attention
anyway, I didn't like
the blindness of
admiration because I didn't
know how to deal with such
but sometimes it's been lonely
not knowing if I'll ever
really feel like I belong
to anyone or anything
