Convenience

I am the convenience queen
Invisible when there are interesting options
That suit another purpose –
I am there when you come down
I can be used as your object of awkwardness.

I am the convenience queen
Invisible when there are cool people just out of reach
That match your aspirations –
I am there when you feel awkward
And am there if you feel down.

I am the convenience queen
Invisible when I am incurring costs
That you would normally have met alone –
I am easily checked and balanced
With a token of appreciation.

I am the convenience queen
Invisible when your timetable takes precedence
That is more important than a singular day or meaning –
I am able to be put off, delayed, overwritten
For all those things that are more important.

I am inconvenient when asking.
I am invisible.
I am not on your networking profiles.
I am recognisable in backgrounds.
I am not granted credit.
