Dull


Dull

Dull
Lonely
Unwanted
Never picked
Left sitting on the wall
Till the very last choice
Then reluctantly taken
Like the useless booby prize
Told to keep away from any action
Too plain to be noticed
Too dull to talk to
Too boring to worry about

Melting into the crowd
Indistinguishable from the others
Without feature in a grey world
Totally unremarkable
Lifeless and uninspired
Never invited
Nor sought after
Always passed over
And forgotten

Awkward
Unimaginative
Unsure how to talk to others
Or what to talk about
Unable to understand
What might be on their minds
No conversation or social graces
Too vacuous to be original
Empty and without pattern

Not seen as anyone special
Or different enough
To be become anyone’s friend
To merit the slightest attention
Or to be talked about
But easily overlooked
Un-noticed and ignored
Totally unexceptionable
Never missed
Always alone
Lonely
Dull
