Replaceable
Mostly the discarded voice
Who is never noticed
That is never heard
Who is mostly ignored like a lone bird
Always the sidepiece
Never the centre
Usually forgotten
Barely remembered
Heartbroken
Voice cracked
Choices regretted
Face draught
Usually replaceable
never indispensable
Barely needed
Always preceded
Maybe I am selfish
For wanting to be cherished
For wanting to be adored
Wanting to be put before.
