No Mark

I leave no mark
There's nothing to erase
My voice doesn't echo
My words leave no trace
Sometimes I feel alone
It doesn't really matter though 
cause no one notices
She's too busy being smart
He's too busy being playing his part
The play in which I didn't attend
I don't have what it takes to gain admissions
I just skid along 
Waiting for my turn 
It'll never be me on top perfoming 
  in direct spot light cause I don't deserve it
The wind blowing so chilly on my face
   At home their's expectations 
        theirs dreams that I want to chase
              I'm in search of my identity
         Can someone hire a foreinsic scientist 
                        To do all the dirty work for me? 
                  My hands are dusty and desprate  
                        to make their imprint
                          But I leave no marks
                          Each passing day 
                        As the realization gets blasted into my head
                              My heart sinks a little deeper
                                 My mind state gets a little weaker
                                       and my happiness decreases
                                               even steeper 
                                             When will it be my turn?
                                              That's all i've ever wanted to know
