Forsaken

This actually happened to me as a young child, don't worry I did get food eventually.

Forsaken

I was the one

to be as quiet

as a mouse

timid & shy

the invisible

one

of the family

Come dinner time

we all gather around

being dished out food

here's one for you,

and you and you

I'd look up and stare

in disbelief while

nothing was put

on my plate

while everyone ate

I, alone

was forsaken!

Author's Note

We had a long table which seated ten people in all, food was scarce and mother lost track of who got what.
