What About Me?

I feel like I’ve accomplished so much,
But gained nothing in return.
I was promised a dime every six months,
I haven’t seen one penny,
I was promised a step up,
And it’s been too long,
I can’t take your empty promises,
And how you pass me by.

What about me?
When is it my turn?
When is it my time?
She’s only 17,
Can’t it be mine?
She’s not competent,
I know that I can be.
When is it my turn?
What about me?

Almost two years,
I will not fall away,
I will not fall away,
He doesn’t even know my name.
I try to scream and no one will hear me,
Why won’t they hear me?
Why won’t you hear me?

What about me?
When is it my turn?
When is it my time?
She’s only 17,
Can’t it be mine?
She’s not competent,
I know that I can be.
When is it my turn?
What about me?
What about me?
Why not me?
