Accessory

by No1ButMe   May 14, 2023


No one can be bothered
to even remember your name
don’t even get a unique title
it’s all just the same
they don’t claim you
a slight stutter in their voice
look right past you
never the first choice
hanging in the shadows
or off of someone’s arm
bring out your plastic smile
turn on the charm
just not enough
to make a lasting impression
always find yourself alone
when you’re withering in your depression
tell yourself it won’t last
that one day you’ll be found
such a beautiful lie
to say when no one is around
but it doesn’t stop you
go back there the next day
doesn’t matter what you do
they won’t remember you anyway
no one can get past your wall
not because you can’t take it down
because no one will approach the door
no need to answer if no one’s around
only speak if your spoken to
what you were always told
so when no is willing to talk to you
your the one who comes off cold
just let it fester in your soul
but no evidence on your face
they won’t notice anyway
you’re just taking up space
those emotions you’re creating
are only effecting you
they haven’t even spotted
how it’s breaking you in two
the mindset is torture
drowning you in lies
your eyes shift, your only tell
as a part of you dies
but don’t you dare ask
“why, oh why me”
cause you already knew you weren’t a person
no, you’re just an accessory...
