They All Want Her

They all want her
It's like they have been blinded to unsee the beauty in me.
We laugh together,
We play together,
We even fly together
But they all want her.

Is it a curse or is it bad luck?
But who am I to deserve it?
Well.. it's rather an ambiguous misfortune.

Similar in every way,
No different from identical twins
But they still want her.

When one of them says a simple hello 
I am puzzled, confused, and I feel weird 
Because I have gotten so used to her getting the spotlight,
Used to her being everyone's the one 
And to me being ghosted.

Even she is getting fed up.
But to me it's still a dream,
An impossible wish, 
And a non-existant reality
I might try this or that
But all is in vain, a truly inevitable reality 
Because THEY ALL WANT HER

Whether this is talking about you - but surely it peeks into girl psychology. Very beautifully written.
