Ignored

I am not innocent or that significant 
I learned it the hard way
I am excellent…maybe a bit brilliant
But, I need humility today

When I talk, it feels like no one really listens
Ignored again and thrown into garbage bins
I had a rather wonderful Thanksgiving though
The precious sun and moon were all aglow

I am not innocent or that significant 
I am excellent…maybe a bit brilliant
But, I need humility today
I learned it the hard way

I had a rather wonderful Thanksgiving though 
Ignored again and thrown into garbage bins
When I talk, it feels as if no one truly listens
The precious sun and moon were all aglow
