My story isn't normal

I'm not the main character

I'm not even in the top 5

I don't make the cast list in a movie

I'm on the sidelines

Because I'm the extra

I'm not even a side character

I don't say a word in the script

I'm only there to fill the blanks

The empty space

I'm expendable

Because I'm the background character

You don't know my name

You don't know who I am

All you know is I'm not important enough to be a part of the story

I'm like a ghost

You don't see me or notice me

But I'm there

Because I'm just another person

I'm tired of not having my own story

Maybe it's time to tell mine
