The lesser kid

 

I am not the best thing

that has happened to you

I know, I accept,

And I don't wish anymore.

You are noble, you are kind

And you are the sweetest being,

that I have met till now.

Still, that doesn't help hide

the feelings that lie deep within.

That I am a soul in a person

That I have a heart beating of it own

That I have blood running in my veins

That I can't cease till I die.

My topic is not a favorite of yours

and when I hear you hushing it up

to anyone who happens to hog on it

Proves me that I am not worth talking over.

In those moments I feel like slipping

into a small hole in some hideous corner

out of reach and out of light

invisible to everyone's minds and sight.

There have been days I am bright

just to have you walk aside

And on other days I would just be  alright

If I know you notice that I am sad.
