I Was
I was kind and I was caring, yet you refused to take notice.
I was considerate and I was respectful, yet you refused to take notice.
I was good and I was special, yet you refused to take notice.
I was athletic and I was talented, yet you refused to take notice.
I was smart and I was outgoing, yet you refused to take notice.
I was popular and I was accepted, yet you refused to take notice.
I was scared and I was alone, yet you refused to take notice.
I was tired and I was sick, yet you refused to take notice.
I was hiding in the shadow of the mold you created for me and I was overwhelmed, yet you refused to take notice.
I was losing my grip and I was slowly falling, yet you refused to take notice.
I was here and now I’m gone, maybe, just maybe, you’ll take notice.
