She goes to the park

to see children her age play.

​

“If only I could feel

like them one day”

​

That is what she got taught to say.

In the end, she never cared enough to pray

.. ACROSTIC ..

Friends

Frank but understandable.

Rowdy but kind.

I'm just weird.

Enchanting yet evil.

Negative but intelligent.

Devil & helpful.

Sedate & quiet.

Claws knocking at my window

. JOKE .

I've gotten used to my insecurities,

my lumps & non-pretty things


Though still,

they joke about them


As if it is not my temple;

itself, they are insulting


What I think when people say:

Oh, I'm just joking

. TRUST .

The trust you never had,

has been broken


Tell me, were you conscious

or lookin for nothin?


Cautious or neurotic?

The answer to this means nothing.

 

For the trust you never had,

has been broken

She is sure that only insecure

&/or predatory people would wanna date her


"No one would ever like me"


That's what she thinks,

& that's why she rejected me

I cry,

so you feel guilty.


I scream,

so you feel scared.


I lie,

knowing you'd never trust the truth again.


I cheated,

knowing you could fall, demolished & torn.

I laugh when you feel bad


.  .  .


Is this how you see me? Bad?

​

I don't live up to this expectation,

for I never broke the trust you never had

Do "real" friends rly exist?

I feel like they're only on the internet


.  .  .


I ghosted my real friends

when we couldn't meet in person.

Will I see them again
