Not in the Spotlight


I tried so hard to be her friend
I can't believe I didn't realize
That we were so far apart
It seemed easy through my eyes

Maybe I took it for granted
Who am I to say so
I can still be acquainted
But I might have to let go

She doesn't really like who I am
Doesn't like anything I do
Does it matter that I'm not perfect
Did you know that neither are you

I'm not the girl in the spotlight
I can be shy, I can be afraid
What happened to our friendship
Is it all my fault it has to fade

Sometimes I go a little crazy
Yeah, even I like to have fun
So what if I let a single tear fall
Maybe sing and just want to run

It's not like you have ever been confused
I bet you've been shy before
If  you're going to keep acting that way
I don't think I want to be friends anymore



Author notes

This is dedicated to my friend- or at least someone I thought was my friend. But sometimes she avoids my gaze, maybe I'm just too "uncool". Maybe it's because the poems I write just aren't her style. But if she can't accept the things about me she doesn't like, she doesn't deserve my friendship at all. I don't care if she doesn't like this poem. It wasn't fun to write it, and you're not supposed to like it. I've been torn between my friends and... well... others. She's trying to make me change to be like her. I don't want to. So ha.
