Background Character
By: Shuri
🪶
Another day, another time
Gonna keep that smile wide
Look at the camera
The main character is here
🪶
Flawless, beautiful, liked by everyone
Even he kept his eyes on her
While I'm just behind, just every one
I'm a background character
🪶
My life is a novel, but not the protagonist
Just the artist's lazy no-eyed work
Never tried to be hopeful and idealist
Here to be the shadow of the book
🪶
I yearn for that higher podium
And wear her plot armour
Too sick of being a cardboard
Just want that glamour
🪶
Wanted to have that development
Conflict fixed together with friends,
Him as my love interest,
And battle with my inner demons
🪶
Getting tortured in every chapter
No name, just one single purpose
To show up behind the main character
And repeat for the next day
🪶
