My Place

Yes I know, I'm just the background.
Unimportant and never seen,
my entire existant is so obscene.

The first to die, and least cared for
Everyone laughs as I lay and die.
Everyone chuckles as I hit the floor.

So adept, yet so unneeded,
I'm discarded when another is found,
words of the wise I never heed.

The unwanted underacheiver,
too afraid to take the lead.
I'm no longer a believer.. of anything.

Nothing left, leave me for dead.
Nothing matters, I don't care.
Nothing but nonsense floating around my head.

when the screens on me,
everyone seems unimportant,
but i'm only on, to show my defeat.

I'm the trooper who falls behind,
the one that never looks back,
rushing forward to meet my demise.

I ran from you, couldn't hide.
Tried to stay away, it was too hard.
The only person I cared about, for you i would die.

Sitting and thinking, it's been a while..
I finally realize my place in the world..
I'm the background.. unwanted, undesired.
