What About Me
I was told yesterday
That someone else will come and forever stay
At first, I was a little confused
Because I didn't understand the news
A few months later, I looked at my mother
And thought to myself, 'what's happening to her?'
They tell me I can't do this or that with her
We don't have fun together anymore, I wish she'd get better
Two more months went by
Then she was rushed to the hospital with pain and I wasn't told why
My dad put me in the car and drove so fast
Finally, we reached the hospital at last
My dad ran and he ran and he ran
He went to the back while I sat with family members and waited patiently not
knowing what's at hand
After two days of me and dad being alone
She was back home
This time with someone else
And I realize that it will no longer be me by myself
In the house they come with a little baby
They bypass me and I thought to myself, 'what about me?'
Days have gone by
And so many people have come, but passed me by
I no longer have fun with my mom and dad
So I go in my room to be alone and sad
The next day, grandma and grandpa came to see the baby
Again, I was bypassed
But this time I came out and asked
"What about me?"
Everyone was taken by surprise
I repeated myself and sat there and cried
They all came running to comfort me
And explained to me about the baby
And most of all that they didn't forget about me
