AN: Oh look...an update. Well it has been over a year so I think it is about time that I update...Anyways

I don't own Rise of the Guardians

If this could trigger you then please do not read...

If you do read this then please review.


I feel unloved and ignored

I feel my heart being stabbed with a sword

It seems that I don't measure up to them

And it seems this is where all my problems stem

My entire life has been such a mess

From trying to compete I'm under so much stress

I thought it didn't matter that I'm not my sisters or brother

I thought we were all different from one another

But I guess that I'm wrong, because I guess it is true

That in your heart I don't matter to you

And I guess it might be strange to be thing this way

Because I was raised to want to live each day

But that's not how I'm feeling, at least not right now

I'm reading the subtext and it's getting kind of loud

And I was raised to always be selfless

But I've become the opposite and the cause is all this stress

The stress of trying to beat my sisters and brother

And trying to win the love of my father and mother

And trying to be noticed for once in my life

But it seems it'd be easier being stabbed with a knife

I wish I didn't have middle-child syndrome anymore

Because then maybe I'd feel there was something worth living for

This is why I'm glad my friends haven't met my family

Because that's usually when they forget about me

I tried getting attention by getting good grades

But that is just something for which I'm not made

And I tried getting attention by playing sports

But it seems the stick on this end is short

And I tried getting attention by being good at art

But it seems all I could draw were broken hearts

And I tried getting attention by making them meals

But it seems it's only the cold shoulder I could feel

And I tried getting attention by playing an instrument

But it seems that is something for which I'm not meant

I tried getting attention by doing so much good

But is seems that didn't work so maybe something bad could

So I tried getting attention by doing drugs

But it seems my parents would only turn away and shrug

And I tried getting attention by drinking

But it seems that's when I did my darkest thinking

So I tried getting attention by stealing

But it seems not even that sent my parents reeling

And I tried getting attention by running away

But it seems they didn't notice, not even after thirty days

And I tried getting attention by having premarital sex

But it seems they couldn't even bother to send a pregnancy test through FedEx

And I tried getting attention by killing myself

But it seems, to them, I was worth less than a dusty trophy on an attic shelf

And I tried getting attention; oh trust me I did…

But it seems that they just replaced me with another kid
