After Thought

I'm an after thought
Not  your first thought or even second.
You want to talk I get passed by.
You need to cry I get passed by.
I'm your after thought, scroll through 
your face page right past my name. email your
friends not even a text. No time to share,
I'm your afterthought. My name on your list but do I exist,
I am in your phone, in your ear, I'm there right here but,
I'm your afterthought.
No place for me no time indeed, get caught
up with your life no time to see me.
I wait to see if you remember but, once again 
I'm just an afterthought.

Pandita Sietesantos Date: 6/20/2018 2:35:00 PM Once you realize that someone is treating you like an 'afterthought," it's best to let go of that person from your life and be with people who cherish you! I enjoyed reading this deep, powerful, well-written poem. Best regards. Pandita
