You cannot tell me I am not unlovable
When everybody in life
Chooses to leave

I am not the favorite stuffed animal
That you sleep with every single night

I am the doll who looks nice in the store
But after a few weeks of play
You toss me to the side
Forgotten and lonely in the bottom of the toy box

I am not pretty painting that is hung in the gallery
For the world to admire

I am the painting you impulse bought
And hung up in the basement where no one goes
Forgotten and dying to be seen

I am not the favorite soft knit sweater
That you wear on a daily basis

I am the shirt you bought because I was on clearance
That you will eventually toss to the bottom of your closet
Begging once more to be useful

I may be likeable
But I will never be loveable
I will forever be the person you eventually toss to the side

And maybe it's time I got use to it

Maybe I don't want to be fixedWhere stories live. Discover now
