Edge of the Universe

Alone in the corner
Is where I belong
It's where I've been staying
For far too long

Here I sit at the edge of the universe
Looking in at the people having fun
They don't want me here
A voice tells me I should run

To them I am backup
Second best at the most
To some I'm not even there
They talk through me as if I were a ghost

Maybe someone will read this and think
God, what a head case
To my face they will say kind words
But the words are fake and they leave a bad taste

You think I like it in here
You think I like to hide
I keep a somewhat calm exterior
But I'm screaming on the inside

Look at me
Pay attention please
I beg them to notice
Me here on my knees

What will it take
For them to notice me at all
Am I nothing to them
Would they even care if I fall
