I have to share in this world and pretty good at that.
I'm fine with sharing the credit.
I've shared social media's with my friends before.
I'm fine with sharing most of my things but this was supposed to be all mine.

This place was supposed to be only for me.
This place was for me to be alone.
It was a place for me to vent.
To get over my feelings of being unwanted and alone.
For a while, it worked.
For a bit I was fine.

I was on my own in the world of the internet.
I was content with my lot with the people I met.
It was a nice change for me.
To not get likes and stuff from only my friends.
It felt nice to see people like my stuff again and again.
The truth is that I join to get away from people that I know irl.
It was for me to share my feelings thoughts and opinions.
I wanted this to be my place.

Then one day,
Something happened,
I got a lot of views on a certain something.
It was a poem I wrote,
I was proud of it.
I wanted to share with the people who care.
I showed them what I wrote.
I asked please don't join the site.
I don't want you there.
You know what they did?
It truly made me feel bad.
They came to join the site.

Then at school, it wasn't just me.
It was them too
They talked about how many likes and stuff they got.
They honestly didn't even have a reason.
They joined the site just because and now I'm jealous of them.
I spend hours and hours looking for inspiration.
I look at things and I try to rhyme and make them fit together.
I put so much effort into the things I write.
I try to pour my heart and soul into it.

But then they come they throw in their effort and all the sudden their poem's on the front page.
It has more views than mine ever will.
I try so hard to succeed but I know that I never will.
I just wanted to share my writing that I know is worse than theirs.
I just wanted to see how far I could go without my friend's competition.
They are so much better than me.
In everything in life.
I just wanted a place where I could be alone, meet people my age but I don't know.
I just wanted my place.
But I guess that's too hard to ask.
I'm sorry, universe for even asking you for something like that
