Ignored

We all began on equal ground

Eager, willing, excited about the changes

You walk past us, judge us, split us

We each took a place that you desired

Some better suited to you, others didn’t

And even then people were already leaving

Those who stayed fought for their place

Blood, sweat, tears, victory

Each in our own groups

Our teams, our families, our friends

We joined together, stood united

We were all making the best of what we had

The most desired, the most powerful

You admired them, helped them

Lied to them about reality

Just to make them feel even more superior

The weakest, the cut offs

They were the unwanted ones of your choices

Not good enough, pathetic, worthless

Yet you still pretend to like them

Years passed, time moved on

The desired ones got stronger

The unwanted got weaker

Most of them end up quitting

We stand as a group

But are split unevenly

Power going to the most popular

The most desired images

Such people are worshipped

Others worship them, following the crowd

Like lost sheep to a foolish Shepard

We all played along in the dream you created

The unwanted are rejected

Despised, disliked, undesired

They are the fault in your plan

They are the spanner in the cogs

We all start with dreams and hopes

Yet everyone crushes them

Some say it can’t be done

Only due to our appearance

There are no chances handed down

No help for those that are unwanted

Only the desired people get given chances

Only they deserve a chance

What makes them so great?

Why do you favour them over others?

Why do you worship some?

And neglect others?

Everyone has the potential to make dreams reality

Everyone can do it if they are willing enough to

Determination is the pure force that changes lives

If you work hard, you’re dreams become reality, don’t they?

Yet everywhere there are people kicking dreamers down

Telling them it’s hopeless in dreaming

Telling them to give up dreaming and become realistic

Unfortunately most give up their dreams

So neglect the unwanted all you want

Step on their heads as they drown

Ignore them when they cry for help

After all, they are lower than humans

But determination will pull through

Kill their dreams all you want

It doesn’t matter because in the end

They will see you screaming for mercy
