I HAVE SPENT MY LIFE

I have spent my life being useful
but not wanted.
I have spent my life being
used but not desired.

I have spent my life
with my eyes downcast
and my spirits cast down further.
I have spent my life
wanting to be wanted.
and wanting to be someone other than me.

On Bianca, she said "there's nothing good in my life"
and I said "yes there is" and she said "what is?" and I said "I am."
and she said "no you're not."

She then went on to say 
"I didn't mean that."
"I didn't mean it."
"I love you."
and went on to say that I'm not bad "for" her.
But that's not the same thing as being a good thing. (not being a bad thing).
For & being are different. I don't care if I'm good for someone. I want to be 

a good thing.
