It's not like I'm their friend
If only I were stronger
I could lift the world up high
If only I were kinder
You would be fine
If only I were smarter
I wouldn't have to lie
But I'm not
I'm not
I'm not
I'm not
I'm not
I'M NOT
I'M NOT STRONG
I CAN BARELY LIFT A FINGER
WHEN SOMEONE NEEDS HELP
I'M NOT KIND
THERE'S A REASON YOUR ALWAYS BUSY
WHEN I ASK TO HANG OUT
I'M NOT SMART
AND SHE THINKS IT'S A JOKE
WHEN SHE CALLS ME DUMB
'CAUSE IT NOT LIKE
THEY'RE STRONGER
WHEN THE DON'T HELP ME EITHER
IT NOT LIKE
THEY'RE KINDER
WHEN THEY IGNORE ME
AND IT'S NOT LIKE
THEY'RE SMARTER
WHEN THEY DON'T EVEN
Notice
Me
Cry
And now I'm blaming them
If only I had friends
Who called me
A friend

That song doesn't speaks for everyone
To my past self,
I hope you know you'll be fine
Just keep moving
Don't give in
You've always been good at that
You're dreams will come true
As long as you go after them
Make a plan
So when they say it won't happen
You can prove them wrong
Also
Stop being pressured
To like certain people
Girls are better
I promise
You'll go through hard times
But you'll find people
Who go through hard times
Just like yours
And you'll help each other
Because
That song doesn't speak for everyone
And you'll lose people
But for every love you lose
You'll gain a few more
And though the hurt
Will always stay
It will heal a bit
Each night
So cry yourself to sleep
Because people need to cry
Let you friends and family help
You can't keep your innocence
But you can remember it
You are loved,

I looked down at the world below me. Destroyed. Demolished.
๐ฆ๐ฑ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฎ ๐ท๐ธ๐ฝ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ท๐ฐ ๐ฌ๐ช๐ท ๐ฐ๐ป๐ธ๐
Not a single soul in sight. Everything was gone. There was nothing left to rule over.
๐ ๐พ๐ผ๐ฎ๐ญ ๐ฝ๐ธ ๐ฑ๐ช๐ฟ๐ฎ ๐ฏ๐ช๐ฒ๐ฝ๐ฑ
No one to think of. No one to talk to. What now? Do I live like this forever? Until I perish?
๐๐พ๐ฝ ๐ ๐ป๐ช๐ท ๐ธ๐พ๐ฝ ๐ธ๐ฏ ๐ฑ๐ธ๐น๐ฎ
There's nothing left. Nothing to live for. Nothing to wish for, dream for, fight for.
๐ ๐ด๐ท๐ธ๐ ๐ฝ๐ฑ๐ช๐ฝ ๐ฒ๐ฝ'๐ผ ๐ถ๐ ๐ฏ๐ช๐พ๐ต๐ฝ
I never should have done this. Never.
๐'๐ถ ๐ฑ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฎ ๐ช๐ต๐ต ๐ช๐ต๐ธ๐ท๐ฎ
Why did I do this? If I wanted to rule I need people to rule over. I can't call myself the best if there's no competition left. Why did I do this? What was the point? Why should I even be here anymore? I ruined anything that could have been waiting for me. This will be the last view of my old home forever, I guess. No point in staying.

You don't see me cry
We all look the same in the dark. I always see the same blotchy smile as if you care. Talking in the dark because if we turn the lights on your mom will tell us to go to bed. You tell me something. I nod my head and make a sound so it seems like I'm listening. The more you talk the more I know. I know you want to be with someone else. I'm not your first choice of a friend. I sob a bit. You think I chuckled because you said something funny about whoever your talking about now. The dark masks my quiet crying. You can't see but there are tears running sideways as a lay on the pillow you let me borrow. I know I'm your least favorite. I know you'd rather be with your true friends instead of me. Just have to pretend I'm oblivious to this for one more year. Then you don't need to have me trailing behind you.

Smile for me
I don't think I ve ever been happy.
Everyone says they have. They could give me an example, too.
But I can't remember the last time I felt happy.
I don't know what friendship is. What's the true definition of a friend? Is it some you like, so one you've known forever? Someone who you trust? I don't know. I can't feel friendship if no one makes it happen
I know what a smile feels like, though. I can recognize the way the corners of my lips rise a bit. I recognize the little beating in my chest when I think something might work out.
A smile disappears quickly, but it's still there.
I would like to say thank you to everyone on this app, y'all are so talented and awesome and kind. Y'all make me smile. Smile for me, okay? ๐ค๐๐ฉต๐ค

Silent scream
No one can hear it
But it's definitely there
'Cause he tilts his head back
To keep out the tears
He says he doesn't feel
But between the lines, they read
'Cause he's skipping every meal
Shouts a silent scream
"Wake up"
"Pretend it's all a dream"
"It's not a problem"
"Just a silent scream"
And she wakes up
Looks at her reflection
She hates them
Sucking in her stomach
Why does she hurt
It on the tip of her tongue
They're make it worse
But she doesn't want to bug them
**"Wake up"**
**"Pretend it's all a dream"**
**"It's not a problem"**
**"Just a silent scream"**
**They don't realise**
**People hear them scream **
**When they close their eyes**
**They think they all are mean**
**And they can't help it**
**But people can help them**
**No one can heal it**
**But the can't run from their problems**
**"Wake up"**
**"it's all just a nightmare"**
**"You're not a problem"**
**"Dont worry I'm right here"**
****
**But they still think**

**"Wake up"**

I like to act
I don't think they like me. If they did they would let me come. Let me in. Into the inside jokes, into the secrets. But I'm on the outside of all of them. What if I wasn't,though? What if they liked me. I would know the secret, understand the jokes. I wouldn't feel like every time I can't hear what they're saying, they'd be talking about me. Alas, they hate me. I know they do. So I don't try anymore. Let them talk crap about me. Let them cal me weak. I won't let it get to me, because I only have one more year until I meet new people.
Maybe they won't hate me. At least for the first three years. Maybe I'll find my place. Until then, all I have to do is act. I like to act.
