On the side

Here I sit
Left on the side
While those below me
Are lavished with pride

And here I am
Just like before
Simply dropped off
Once I'm through the door

Sitting, waiting
Anticipating
My turn to play
May come one day
Left out
No doubt
My world at an end
No company, no friend

I should be grateful
Really, I know
One day I'll get the chance
To shine and glow

And I'm closer now
Than ever before
One day I'll be perfect
And wanted once more

For now I'll rest here
Just for a while
Come back soon
See me beam and smile

Soon as I'm slotted
I'll be good as gold
Then I'll be needed
Not left out in the cold
