Cuts Of Confidence Turned To Deceit

January 26, 2012
By Anonymous

Your cruel words
Stabbing at my back
Never to be forgotten
No one likes you because your smart
Those words haunted me
They still do
Razor blades were raised to the skin
Just because of you
Well
That time is over
Don't think I've forgotten
Don't think I've forgiven
Why are you my friend now?
Is it because you feel bad
Or because you want your popularity back?
I can tell you one thing
I don't have it.
Popularity requires confidence
You took that and made it ugly deceit
And now I just want to say
I'm not okay
Not today
But maybe tomorrow…
I will be.

This story was inspired by a girl who hurt me with harsh words, now she is my 'friend' or at least tries to be and when I look at her I can still feel what I felt then.
