Forgettable You

Hello, testing… testing… 
One… two… three…
Can you see me?
Can you hear me?
Do I exist?

I know I have a voice
But it doesn’t always seem like it
Tired of feeling invisible
Tired of being ignored
I’m just so worn down from it all

I never wanted to feel this way
But it’s something that I’m oh so familiar with
As I got older I thought that things would change
But the more things change, the more they stay the same

Do I even matter?
Am I even important to any of you?
I’ve never been a priority
Never stood out to you
“Oh, it’s just you… Oh so forgettable you”

Maybe it’s time for me to fade off into the nothingness
After all, who would even notice the difference?
Barely anyone acknowledges my presence
Would they even be aware of my absence?

It’s not like I wanna die
But sometimes I wonder what it feels like to be alive
Sometimes I wonder what it would feel like to be worry-free
Give zero fucks about my place in society

But that’s just the thing
I’ve always been so forgettable
Always so overlooked
Never stayed in a place that really felt like home
Never found a place to which I belong

Always been an outcast
Always been squeezed out
Easily the most forgettable
What do I do now?

I’ve tried and I’ve tried and I’ve tried
And I don’t have anything left to give
I’m just so tired, tired, tired
I guess it’s best if I disappear

Won’t have to go far
I’m already a degree of separation away from invisible
All I have to do is stay quiet
It’ll be easy enough for them to forget
I didn’t mean much to them to begin with
Might be better if I’m just a faded memory in the end
