Sorry you're not sorry

“Sorry, can't come”, what your text says
“Sorry, not sorry”, what it conveys
I'm glad you listen to your needs
But what about my own self-esteem
My hope, joy, logistical chore
At once dropped to shatter on the floor
A mere extra in your story
I'm a spare part, everyone's plan B
My life a book no one is reading
A thought more sad than liberating
