Artefact
When some say you were made to be seen
And all you want is
Not to be
They take it in turns viewing you
When you're relevant
You're popular
When you're not
You're not
You long to be in the corner of the room
Viewable to those who care to find you
But not the centre
Of an obsolete room
Whether or not you like it
You're on show
Days off and days on
They tell you it's in your control
And you tried
You try
To have some control of it
The thing that brings people to you
Even when you don't want them to
You're not ready
At least that's what you tell yourself
When others say you're ready just as you are
Yet you don't feel enough
... Not just yet
But shouldn't you by now?
