You know you over stayed your 'welcome',
when people no longer acknowledge you.
They just simply WALK THROUGH you.

When people don't acknowledge or even realize the actions you do.
They just simply CAN'T SEE you.

When you walk,
no one can hear you or even when you try to SPEAK OUT!
They just simply CAN'T HEAR you.

When teachers gave up long ago on you.
They just simply LOOSE INTEREST in caring.

When the only place is best for you is a corner.
Just simply NO ONE will ever bother you.
Only on their needs.

When you go up to present,
NO ONE cares to have respect to even pay attention.
They just simply don't GIVE A ****!

When you perform on stage or even showing your true talent!
NO ONE would ever remember you did that!
They just simply acknowledge the OTHER PERSON you were with
and give them credit.
Especially at Prom.
Even then, no matter how OUTSTANDING you look, you're just FORGETTABLE.

Over time I've been nothing but a failure through high school,
which is why I stayed there too long.
Aging, seeing younger kids come in and being more full of themselves and their social groups. NO longer appreciating values. Simply having no morals.
Anyways,
through time I just simply fade.....
not even my bleach blonde hair can make me stand out.
I'll forever be the GHOST of high school.
No one will ever remember me from that place.
Chances not in any other places.
I'll forever be a GHOST.

I don't think there's a greater
exchange of pure love
as when a child looks up
hugging my thighs,
as I gaze down into their eyes,
beaming gratitude and joy,
thanking the Lord in the sky
for such a creature,
for this specific pearl
of a being's magic,
for their adorable existence,
in this mad impersonal sea,
relentlessly pounding on me.
This child's opulence is everything.
