Drama queens and I

All around me, drama queens,

Never spending any time with me,

All around me, they sit and sway,

With no idea that I’m feeling this way.

No way of even getting through,

You’ll never know I care about you,

And you’ll never ever really see,

The pain that surfaces every day inside me.



All around me is over-reaction,

Melodrama is the latest attraction.

They wonder around, cursing and yelling,

But I feel the same pain as they do,

I chose to not express it.

Sit in the corner, as the shoulder to lean on,

But they do not know

Will never know,

That I nearly died today,

Do they care?

I don’t think so.



Always presuming,

They’re the most fucked of them all,

Never presuming,

It happens to us all.

Crying on me until the next one comes along,

I try to be helpful, try to be strong,

But all they need is the one who replaces me,

I’ll never be the one they want to see.

I’ll never be the one with the shoulder to lean on,

For as long as they are feeling so low,

They’ll never realise,

I could die tomorrow.



And I too am selfish,

I know.
