Disregarded

Each month we rejoiced,
gathering to celebrate life.
Each month we recognized,
our achievements and efforts.

Each month I waited,
with genuine joy for others,
Each month that passed,
brought my day closer.

The month came about,
and still I must wait.
For the one who decides,
was not present 'til late.

Days passed ever so slow,
though I remained excited.
He returned on the day,
that my break came about.

My two days passed,
I came prepared for it.
Little did I know,
it happened without me.

They took the day I waited for,
blindly away from me.
No one thought to call,
and ask me to be part.

Instead, I was disregarded,
my turn came and yet it didn't.
This morning my heart was sad,
for it would not be.
