Look in the Mirror
If I were in charge
I would make the nerds kings
And the popular ones pay for stirring the pot
Making people feel like they were nothing
When they were something
They were great but could never see
Because of those people tearing them down
They crumpled
The ones that were great
Crumpled by the ones that only thought they were great
They throw people on the ground
Then kick them when they are weak
Keeping knives at their sides waiting to hurt
My friend
My best friend
Turned into one of them
Her knife that used to be hidden
Now out in the open proudly displayed
She almost convinced me to reveal mine
I almost stabbed my other best friend
But she would have stood tall
Because she is strong
She never payed attention to them
And their tricks
She is stronger than I
When my once nice friend realized
That I wouldn't acknowledge their spite
And hurting and tearing down
She turned on me
When I was weak
With the knife in her hand
Spread all my secrets and betrayed my trust
I gave her so many chances
So many straws
For her to just waste them
Never bothering to see
How much I cared about her
And if she did
She threw it away
My real friends told me she didn't deserve me
But I didn't care
I kept coming back to her
No matter what she said
What she did
It never mattered to me because I kept beleiving
She would come around
She never did
I snapped
Ignoring her
Every chance I got
She still thinks I'm just jealous
Of her and her friend
Yeah right
I am tired of her stabbing
And stabbing
Everyone who cared
Maybe one day she will realize
Who and what she has lost
It wasn't just me
She pushed away so many
And now she wonders why
And I wonder
If she will ever
Look in the Mirror
