Have You Ever Felt...?

Have you ever felt, unimportant?

Like people pretend you matter,

To make you feel better



Have you ever felt, in the way?

Like you’re always being ran over,

Or everyone has set you on ‘ignore’?



Have you ever felt, useless?

Like no one needs you

And you’ll just mess it up



I have, and it makes me sad

To think of these things

And yet, I wonder



Have you ever felt, at home?

Like you belong,

And people want you to stay



Have you ever felt, part of a family?

Like they need you,

As much as you need them



Have you ever felt, love?

Like nothing else matters,

Except this pure joy



I have, and that makes me happy

To think of these things

And yet, I wonder



Am I allowed?
