Go Ahead

Sitting here patiently waiting

Waiting for you to look at me

Acknowledge my existance

You pay attention to others

Not even a small glance at me

I don not move, make noise, disturb you

I only listen to every word you're saying

Listen to every lie that comes out

You're the one with all of the attention right now

Not bothering to share any of it

Not acknowledging those you should

Go ahead, put me down in front of them

I know the truth and think even they see it

Its the only way to make yourself look good

Make you look important

You try to cover up what and who you really are

Behind all you say, behind the beauty they see

You are only ugly, diseased, and treacherous

The way you betray people you call friends

Just for your own benefit

Put me down in front of them all

I hold my tongue

Because I know the truth

By putting me down in front of them,

they see it too

You are nothing to them but what you give yourself as

Nothing but a fun ride

They dont care

They see how you treat me

See how you want the attention

Will not allow anyone else to have it

So now I will sit here patiently waiting

Waiting for you to look at me

Acknowledge my existance

For now you will ignore me

Only look down on me

To make yourself feel big in front of them

But later, when they've used you

Gotten all the fun they want out of you

And throw you out of their sight like a worthless toy

I know you will come to me

Expecting and begging for help

For me to care

For me to show emotion

You act like you'd done nothing

Nothing wrong

That you were the one mistreated

Put aside and ignored

Now you know how i felt

You say you care for me

But I know you truly dont care

You will sell me out or give me up for attention

You are a whore, of many sorts

I see you always have been

So when you come begging for my help

Remember one day I will say no

One day I will no longer be here

You will be on your own

No longer able to hide behind me

To save yourself

Maybe then you will see just how much you need me.
