Forgotten
Out of sight, Out of mind
that's putting it kind
never told never asked
always the one getting bypassed
Parties. events, holidays too
not even invited to the family barbecue
One the process then the black sheep
after that I was treated like a creep
Hello, I am the forgotten child
You know, the one you exiled
never being understood
from childhood to adulthood
never acknowledged never seen
then blamed for everything in between
important events just overlooked
my calendars empty, trust me I looked
Don't know the place
don't know the time
reminding me not whine
families become strangers
when the bonds are endangered
Anything in common how would I know
I only get th memos
being invisible isn't as fun as it seems
super hero powers aren't everyones dreams
I don't know you at all you know me even less
gosh, do you even know my address
why do I try
it just makes me want to cry
isolated even more
as soon as I walk in the door
Sunday phone calls are few nd far between
who knew we gave up that routine
nothing to report nothing to say
family bonds continue to fray
no fighting was hard no arguments made
I should be the one feeling betrayed
I wonder if you feel the same
you all stay. silent nothing to proclaim
Draining my spirit crushing my soul
its nothing I can control
until you acknowledge your part
healing can't start
