The One Forgotten

When you feel alone so often you tend to fade away.

A piece of coal in the diamond pile
The runt of the liter
Always in someone’s shadow, never surpassing
Only ever two seconds of acknowledgment
Never the two minutes of fame
Forgotten by friends
Left behind by family
Silenced when speaking
Questioned when quiet
Never the one to stand out
Only the one to blend in
Screaming to the skies
But never heard
Not ever hiding
Always trying to be found.
