Can you see me now?
Isn’t this what you wanted?
That’s what I thought so I tried so hard
But now you look so haunted.
I just wanted to please you
And make you see me for me.
But you refuse to glance my way
And when I approach you flee.
Does it burn?
Does it hurt you inside?
That I have found so easily
What you could never find.
These Friends? This boy?
The acceptance you crave so much?
It is not to me what it may seem.
It’s my distraction. It’s my crutch.
It is something I would gladly trade
For just one glance from you.
To know that you missed me
Even half as much as I miss you.
But that will never happen
Because to you I am no longer here.
When you glance in my direction
Your face has only a blank stare.
But I have done what you asked.
I have tried my best.
I know it’s still not good enough
But I am working on the rest.
So look my way just once.
Show me that I’m real.
You are so filled with anger
But I know there’s more you feel.
So get off that mighty throne of yours.
Take off that gaudy crown.
Look down at all the things I do
And tell me…
