The Forgotten
Location
Who am I?
What is the meaning of
My existence?
People rush past me
But it feels like time has stopped.
I am aware of
All the movement around me
But I am unable to take a step.
At home I am just a burden.
There is an empty feeling that
My parents don't mind me
nor even care.
At school I am just one of everyone else.
I am just another moody teen
in the midst of the crowd.
What makes me so special?
My name?
No one even bothers to ask what it is.
Looks?
I don't have what they call "beauty".
Talent?
I possess none.
I stop to think.
Do I have to live unnoticed?
I stop to remember my childhood.
Those times when
I would be the center of attention.
My mom would care for me
My teachers would remember me.
I have been pushed into the crowd of black and white,
Unseen,
or perhaps already..
Forgotten.
