Why I Care, But Pretend I Don'T
Why I care, but pretend I don’t.
First, screw you.
Second, I’m sorry.
Third, it’s not you it’s me.
Fourth, sometimes I hear things that aren’t there.
Fifth, why is everyone looking at me?
Sixth, do I walk weird?
Seventh, why do I do sports?
Eighth, cause I’m being forced to.
Ninth, maybe people will like me if I do this?
Tenth, never do that again.
Eleventh, sorry mom I just didn’t think.
Twelfth, why will no one date me?
Thirteenth, stop looking at me!
Fourteenth, no one likes a crybaby.
Fifteenth, what is wrong with me?
Sixteenth, “stop being such a nerd.”
Seventeenth, was that a joke?
Eighteenth, am I stupid?
Nineteenth, how come no one else looks like me?
Twentieth, sometimes I hear things that aren’t there.
