Forgotten
I am forgotten
Left alone, nobody cares.
Like the mud on the bottom of a shoe.
Or a penny dropped on the ground.
Or a scrap of paper, carried away by the wind.
Or a tin can after its used.
Im so lonely, so different.
Like the one broken, light pole
Amongst ones who stand straight and bright.
Im forgotten
Like this poem seconds after you read it.
Like the trash you throw away,
Because i was literally thrown out.
Im like a porceline doll, up on a high shelf
Where nobody can play with, i stay forever
Because eventually im forgotten.
Expected to be there
Like ice in a freezer,
Taken for granted.
But i wonder,
If anyone would remember my smiles
If i just simply died.
Left alone, nobody cares.
Like the mud on the bottom of a shoe.
Or a penny dropped on the ground.
Or a scrap of paper, carried away by the wind.
Or a tin can after its used.
Im so lonely, so different.
Like the one broken, light pole
Amongst ones who stand straight and bright.
Im forgotten
Like this poem seconds after you read it.
Like the trash you throw away,
Because i was literally thrown out.
Im like a porceline doll, up on a high shelf
Where nobody can play with, i stay forever
Because eventually im forgotten.
Expected to be there
Like ice in a freezer,
Taken for granted.
But i wonder,
If anyone would remember my smiles
If i just simply died.
