I don't know why I bother, no one cares
Why should they?
I'm a shadow at night, unseen and unheard
I'm nothing to everyone
I'm something to no one
I'm just myself and not one wants to be near me
They put up with me, though they notice me as much as they see an ant.
I am nothing.
My life if worth as much as a used pen.
So why?
Why try?
Why bother?
Why should a shadow try to be seen?
It shouldn't.
It's pointless.
I am a teenage nobody, a social reject.
I watch them play and see their place.
They are friends, they care about each other.
And then there's me.
I'm the tag along, the child no one wants to see or know.
My life is nothing.
I am a shadow.
I always will be.
And to try to be anything else is pointless.
What am I trying to do?
What have I done?
