I sent that letter in the mail Its just three words I like you But it feels like a death sentence What if I don't get a letter back Get ghosted forever Never see you again And suddenly your married Three kids A husband with a steady job A dog named jack My ears start to ring Its been two weeks still no reply I lay on the floor in my room Banging my head against the wall Everyday I run to the mailbox Practically dying But every time its empty Until it wasn't

"I guess I just have other priorities now" The words hit me like a wrecking ball You say them with a quavering voice You didn't want me to know that But I already knew Every time you went out with your classmates Came back and talked non stop about them I knew My best friend of seven years Has other priorities If you told me that a year ago I would've laughed "no she doesn't im her best friend im her priority" But today I watched your face as the sun set And the sky turned blue "if you want me to be your best friend that's okay, but they're more Similar to me, i'm happier with them" I feel like screaming, crying, destroying something but I can't I asked you to talk I wanted you to admit it I wanted you to tell me But I didn't want to hear you say it You like them more *** i'm not good enough for you Im not mad about that Its true Im crazy, stupid, annoying, petty, impulsive, sometimes hypocritical But I thought you'd help me I thought you would change me Like best friends are supposed to do But you won't talk to me You won't tell me what's wrong I had to spend thirty minutes just for you to tell me one thing Im not good enough for you

"Men are such diseases" She says I agree to some extent Though theres something I don't mention The nitpicking, the glares, the pettiness The "look at her hair" "She's so ugly" "Does she think she looks good in that?" "Her makeup is so bad" Look at all the mistakes and fumbles and differences Men treat women terribly But women treat women like animals Eating each other alive like cannibals

Crushes are ridiculous You spend all day everyday thinking about them Their smile, their nose The way they laugh How they dress How they talk Their blonde hair Their blue eyes You feel anything could happen and it will all be okay As long as they like you back But that's the thing about crushes Someone always gets crushed

someone always gets crushed
People keep telling me to smile, to be happy Don't cry, laugh Don't frown, be exited And I take they're advise Im happy go lucky Im giggly and fun loving Because I love being alive Because I love the world But suddenly im naive Stupid, ignorant, blissful, overly exited, unfamiliar to hardship as if I Was born yesterday Suddenly smiling at the spring flowers is soft Dancing around in the rain is immature They all act like Im an idiot That im incapable of critical thinking But that's not true I know who I am I know what I've been through I know the suffering and torture and horrors of this world Iv seen it Ive stayed awake thinking about it So sorry if I prefer joy Sorry I don't want to be constantly thinking about pain I choose to smile because im sick of the hurt Im not oblivious I just choose happiness

He stands there Laughing at me As if he didn't just push me Or kick me, or make me feel small "Its just a joke" he says If its a joke why am I crying? Why am I telling you to stop? Avoid you on the playground Stay on separate teams But sooner or later we end up face to face And the bullying continues Name calling, targeting Its so funny you bruised my hip so hard I can't walk Its so funny you pulled my arm the wrong way My mom tells me "next time tell his mom" but next time he denies it Next time he says its my fault, that he was just playing the game But the truth is he doesn't care that I won He's just mad that someone finally has the guts to put him in his place But who cares anyway? No point trying to change people who don't wanna change
