"obsolete"

Old and outdated. Diligent and worn-out; have faded. Useful and used. Left confused. Why people only use me? Refusing to look beside the outward appearance; there's more than what the eyes can see. Only talked to when they're in trouble or they're in need. Forgotten actions that only seem mean. Tossed to the side; fading as quick as a thought. Depressed and a little bit distraught. Similar to sex, I'm seen as an object. Skipped, straight to the body, but no subject. The world's not ready for a person like me. This is the new millennium where others have ceased to be. Closure and concluded; hit delete. Old, worn-out, and faded; obsolete.
