You Don't Know Me
You don't know me.
Telling me how I'm ugly.
How I'm secretly a guy.
How I'm lame.
You can't handle me.
Every time I upload a photo to Facebook,
You tell me how I think I'm so cool
And full of myself.
You don't know what I title the
photos on my computer.
Hideous, Ugly, Freak.
You think I put up more pictures because I love the way I look.
It's because I'm trying to find one I like.
You think I like meeting new people because I want to be popular.
It's because I'm looking for someone to talk to when I'm having a bad day.
Someone who will complement me, not someone like you,
to tell me everything that's wrong.
I'm constantly hearing, "You think you're so cool."
"Pretty," , "Awesome," , "Popular."
Would you believe that I've never thought that?
People come to me with their problems.
When I have serious issues,
Who should I go to?
Who will text back?
It's funny how friends I've had for more than 5 years,
won't be there for me when I have a bad day.
I don't cry.
I laugh.
I don't complain.
I thank.
If this is just showing off,
Then why does it sound so much like a cry for help?

Thanks to all of you guys!!! And I'm much happier now :)
I was in a very similar situation but then I changed schools. Now I have an almost entirely new set of much better friends.
I hope you're doing ok! Keep looking for real friends. You will find them.
I know how you feel; my "best" friend once said those type of things when we were younger.
Then she got held back and now I only see her in the halls, hardly saying hi :)
Good piece, btw; I luv it!
