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
