what a sad little girl
sitting there in the corner
so frightened and alone
wanting only to be loved
wanting only to be wanted
she doesn't want to control
she wants to be important
she doesn't want to manipulate
she wants to be interesting
if she asks for attention
she's being selfish
if she asks for more time
she's being controlling
and so she sits in the corner alone
trying to hide her tears
wishing she was interesting enough
to talk to for hours
wishing she was enough
to keep your attention on her
wishing she knew what made her
always feel like second best
and wishing with all her heart
that she could be your world
as much as you are hers
