Watching them live their lives
It’s like a void surrounds me
Blocking me from their sights
I’ve lived my life just hoping
That they’d finally see me
But I’m still nothing more
Then a lonely outsider
Waiting to be accepted
By the people that I love
I wish I could do something
Anything to make them see
There’s someone who’s just waiting
Waiting for them to finally see
Maybe if I wowed them…
Did something seriously spectacular
They’d welcome me with open arms
Instead of shunning me with angry glares
But nothing I do fazes them
I’m just a shadow on the wall
Someone who’s just waiting
Waiting for them to see me…

Waiting For Them To See Me

Standing on the outside
Watching them live their lives
It’s like a void surrounds me
Blocking me from their sights
I’ve lived my life just hoping
That they’d finally see me
But I’m still nothing more
Then a lonely outsider
Waiting to be accepted
By the people that I love
I wish I could do something
Anything to make them see
There’s someone who’s just waiting
Waiting for them to finally see
Maybe if I wowed them…
Did something seriously spectacular
They’d welcome me with open arms
Instead of shunning me with angry glares
But nothing I do fazes them
I’m just a shadow on the wall
Someone who’s just waiting
Waiting for them to see me…

wonderful but sad write. I once felt as you do but I have learned that I should be happy with myself and if they do not care enough to see me then I do not need them. Maybe one day things will change for you.
