How You Like Me Now
You look past me,
Blank gazes pass
I'm invisible to you
An empty seat in class
You're put together
Not a flaw in sight
Everyone loves you
Your smile so bright
I'm just a mess
I strive to be unbroken
Ending up alone
My words unspoken
Perfect is what you are
It's all I want to be
All you do so effortlessly
The opposite of me
You laughed to your friends
When you noticed me once
I didn't wear the trends
I've changed since that then
If you could see me now
I'd be the coveted one
You'd only wonder how
Then summon your scowl
You'd envy me instead
Dreaming to be like me
I'd get to your head
I broke my way in.
I whisper to my mirror,
How you like me now
