Forget
By: Cheyenne Taylor Age: 12 Issued: June 8, 2003

Why aren't I standing there
You shouldn't be taking my place
I don't know if I came too late
I guess it was only fate
I stood there frozen and overwhelmed
I tried again but no use
I cried so many tears
I faced days of mental abuse
You could only imagine
Why aren't I surprised
I'm always the unlucky one
The one thing I hoped and dreamed for
But what was done is done
All the cards are played
And I'll find someone else
While you laugh in my face
All the worst has been dealt
And I can forget you
He was always shallow
But was he that dumb
I've been permanently damaged
But I shall overcome
I've seen your lives go on
Through the window in the house
I'm invisible to you
And I've been quiet as a mouse
Don't you know that I
Know every little secret
I'm not stalking you
But I've got to see this
Don't you see it too?
Why aren't I surprised
I'm always the unlucky one
The one thing I hoped and dreamed for
But what was done is done
Al the cards are played
And I'll find someone else
While you laugh in my face
All the worst has been dealt
And I can forget you
You smile everyday
You never even glance my way
You've taken my whole world
And left me in the dark
You've got children now
But look I do too
A world that should be with me
Is being wasted on you
And I don't think that's right
Why aren't I surprised
I'm always the unlucky one
But what was done is done
All the cards are played
And I'll find someone else
While you laugh in my face
All the worst has been dealt
And I can forget you
