Neglection Hurts

doesn't it hurt
when you don't get noticed,
when your left out,
when your neglected?
it sure does...especially
if you've done so much
for them
when you've helped them
in so many ways.
it's a sunday afternoon
the sun is wailing
the people are off
to church
but i am left alone
in my own world
doing what i do
feeling neglected
i am a giver
much less of a receiver
happiness is instilled
in my giving
neglection hurts
especially when
you expect something
