I have feelings.
Maybe people don’t notice,
But the feelings are there.
They take harsh, heartless words,
Painful, backstabbing lies,
And pathetic fake people’s “friendships.”
I need to stop
Letting people walk all over me
Because it goes to show
Just how willing I am
To get hurt so easily.
I definitely don’t show
My emotions in front
Of my “friends”
Because it shows
How weak I am.
I know how to be strong
But I don’t know when to be strong
For my feelings down under.
