All I want is
A
Someone.
Someone to have
To hold
Because everyone has a someone
Everyone
It seems
But me.
I listen, as
Boys ask me questions
Sweet, simple questions
But not for me
No.
For my friends.
Because why would you ever want
Me.
When they are there
Why would you pick me?
I have learned to sit
And smile
A smile that cannot – no matter how hard I try
Reach my eyes.
And I tell those boys their sweet simple answers
Happy for my friends
These friends that are my world
So desperately happy
But somewhere inside me
I wish
That boys came to my friends
Asking about me.
But they won’t.
Tears have found
A deep cut path
Through my face
In nights where no one can hear them drip
Onto the books that are my comfort.

I can't be that bad, can I?
