I give a lot. Actually I give all of me everyday. I try to please everyone. I do as I'm told and I do it good.
It starts in the morning. I get up and get pretty. Do my make-up, do my hair because people expect me to look my best. I go to school. I smile, am polite and get good grades. I am the best in some of my classes yet that is something taken for granted and normal. I drive my little brother home from school. He calls me ugly at least 10 times a day, I don't say anything cause I know he doesn't mean it. I get home and promise my mom to clean the bathroom. I do my homework, I do it perfectly, that's what I do. The phone rings. It's my friend, she's crying. I listen, comfort her, give her advice then she hangs up. I listen to the words of my moms boyfriend proving that my parents are no longer together. I haven't heard from my dad in weeks. I talk to this boy I really really like. He gives me the feeling I am worth nothing. I invest and invest and get nothing in return. I go downstairs for dinner. Tomorrow I'm gonna go to the gym I think I gained a pound or two. I take a shower, paint my nails. I lay out my clothes. Dolce and Gabbana, Hugo Boss and Calvin Klein. I have to look the part it's what people expect. I go to bed. It's late, I can't sleep. I'm a good person, I am!
I know they love me, I know they care.
I'm not irrelevant.
