I don’t get it
All the time we spent
All the secrets we told
But now you’re set

You’ve moved on
Kicking me to the side like I’m old

New friends
New best friend
I don’t even feel like I fit in

You copy me constantly
You are a label lover
A contributor to hypocrisy

Please just tell me
It’s not hard to see
You used me

You took my friends
I was delusional

Like a fish on a hook
I was stuck
I still am stuck

I want to be free
Leave me be

Stop rolling your eyes
Stop smirking
Stop acting like you have the upper hand

You’re not worth all of the tears I have cried
I’m struggling
I feel alone

Like everyone hates me
I just want to go home

I'm very touched by the emotions you used in this poem. I really love the fourth stanza out of all of them. And your similes are clever as well.
