Ghosts of Support

I see the circles closing, now that I stand with many

When I was holding few, you barely even saw me

It’s like I’m a shadow, just a face in the crowd

Now that I’m surrounded, you act like I’m allowed

Was I invisible before, just a ghost in the past?

Now I’m here, I’m loud, and suddenly you want me back

Why do you show up, when I’ve got the crowd?

Why do I matter, when I’m not alone now?

You weren’t here, when I was on my own

Now I’ve got a heart, but I feel alone

Your support’s a game, always played for fame

I was just a pawn, in your shallow name

I give what I can, regardless of your view

Support with my soul, not just when it’s new

Thought I was a ghost, faded out of your mind

But now I stand tall, and you’re acting so blind

Why do you show up, when I’ve got the crowd?

Why do I matter, when I’m not alone now?

You weren’t here, when I was on my own

Now I’ve got a heart, but I feel alone

No more pretending, I see through your game

Support built on shadows will only bring shame

I’ll support you, whether you’re few or many

But my worth isn’t measured by your vanity

I’ll stand my ground, even if I’m unseen

Your change of heart doesn’t mean what it seemed

I came to give, I came to stay

But I won’t fall for your hollow play
