Expendable

I'm not expendable.

I'm indispensable.

I'm not disposable.

You find me when you need me

But then where do you go?

My words are not superfluous.

To be shrugged off

Only to be listened to

When I agree with you.

I'm not a resource

To be used again and again.

I am not consumable.

I have my limits.

I am not a throwaway

To be used up someday

To be moved on from

No matter what people say.

I know I am useful.

I know I am needed.

But one day

through no fault

Of yours or mine

You will find

I'm irreplaceable.
