"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Old and outdated.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.
