The whispers
The side looks
The constant putting down
You’re no good
You’re not cool and never will be
You don’t like me.
Well guess what?
News flash
I don’t like you either.
It’s not that I hate you
No one deserves that
It’s that I don’t understand you
Never will
Never want to
I will never put you down
Although every minute you diminish me I wish I could do the same to you.
An eye for an eye
What good does that do?
So I quit trying to stop you.
You jeer
You taunt
You make fun of me behind my back
I ignore, silently look away, pretend you are not putting me down just so you can feel better about yourself.
The whispers
The side looks
The constant putting down
You’re no good
You’re not cool and never will be
You don’t like me
Well, guess what?
News flash
I know myself
I’m comfortable in my own skin
Are you?
