The One Left Behind

I was the one
To go forward into the world
To make a name for myself
To be a success
But I am the one left behind

I was the one
To marry the girl
To have perfect health
To clean up the mess
But I am the one left behind

I was the one
Aced every test
Answered every question
Where everything was easy
But I am the one left behind

I was the one
Who they called a pest
The curdled milk in their digestion
Stubborn and lazy
So I am the one left behind

I was the one
Who judged them all
Self righteous and arrogant
Critical and demanding
So I am the one left behind

They are all gone
They left in the fall
Forgetting their past, growing distant
And myself, lonely and saddened
For I will always be left behind
