I Am Forgettable Poem by Lydia Wimberly

I am forgettable.
I am the one you see in the hallway and walk past without another glance.
I am the great thing you tried once then gave up for no reason
I am that person you invited that you don't remember the name of.

I am forgettable.

I am not invisible
You do notice me coming by.
You may even enjoy the time you spend with me.
However at the end of the day
You don't remember me.
I am the movie you went to see once
you liked me but never enough to visit me again.

I am forgettable

I am not hated or loved
You do not give me enough attention for that.
I do not elect enough emotion or passion
for such responses from you.
I am just there to fill your quota.

I am forgettable.

But I want to be remembered.
I am sick of you ignoring me.
I know you did not mean to.
Hell, you did not even notice
did you?

But I am still forgettable

So I have a question for you,
What do I need to do to get you to notice me?
Should I really have to do anything
or maybe you need to open your eyes a little
wider and notice me instead.

Because I have been trying to get you to notice me
and you still have not and I am sick of trying.
I have done all I can
It is time for you to notice me

So open your eyes and STOP letting me be forgettable
