The Forgotten

We are the forgotten

the ones left to wait.

Sitting by lonely roadsides

searching for our fate.

We are the ones with a message

that no one wants to hear.

Turned away from all we've loved

or could ever hold dear.

We are the ones who keep trying

but never get to far.

Another soulful face

looking up at empty stars.

We represent tomorrow,

that could easily become today.

But not until we listen

to what our enemies have to say.

We represent the dreamers

who look without our eyes.

Buried beneath the outer shell

we look past the empty lies.

We represent the child, who was always chosen last

or called names, or pushed around from a troubled past.

Finally we represent, the earth's hidden wealth

we are the ones with the courage to find the magic in ourselves.
