Afterthought

 Why do I feel like an afterthought?
When nobody wants what it is that you’ve got

When what you’ve got isn’t worth two bucks
Where nobody seems to give two fucks

When acts of kindness are rarely seen
When you feel like you’re less than a human being

When you feel abandoned and on your own
You never get a text; no one rings your phone

Even in your virtual life, e-friends overlook
Inbox clearly empty, so few likes on Facebook

You’re never on anyone’s party list
Seldom hugged, never kissed

They used to be family, some were even friends
Now become so distant, no one tries or pretends

They say they don’t remember, needing a reminder
If they’d only tell the truth that would be much kinder

When they are reminded, a trite apology is given
If they really meant it, in future they’d be driven

But clearly; they’re not;
You’re just an afterthought
