forgotten should be my middle name
who cares for the broken girl
who cares what she feels
or thinks
or says?
who cares if the forgotten girl is gone
who cares if she had eaten today
or cried today
or was even happy?
the forgotten girl doesn't matter
neither does her thoughts
feelings
and emotions.
she's the forgotten girl.
she breathes in life
and exhales loneliness.
but what can she do about it?
everyone will forget it.
the forgotten girl may cry at night
and it wouldn't matter who knew,
because everyone will forget
for that is how she got her name.
the forgotten girl was beautiful
the forgotten girl was happy
she was a girl with passion and love
and now she's empty and alone.
not even a reply to her message.
not even a call back once.
her own parents don't even reply,
that's why she got her name.
forgotten is a special term
used for those left alone.
she's alone, therefore forgotten
a term she now calls home.
it's a shame her loneliness swells
bigger than the love in her heart.
it's okay now though,
she will always be the forgotten girl.
