Sometimes I am someone
But mostly I am no one
That quiet girl in the background
The one no one knows exists

And when I speak
My voice is hoarse
From not talking

Sometimes
Days go by
And I do not utter a word
And when I do nobody listens
Even when I have something important to say

You discourage me
To break out of my shell
And now I will not
Be the person I was meant to be

I have been left behind
By friends
By family
By everything
I am someone
Yet I am no one

I do not matter
In your world
And now I have no one
In mine
