Why did I change,
Did I change to fit in,
Or did I change because I wanted to,
I could have changed since I’m getting older,

My friends are drifting away,
We’re falling apart,
We’re talking less,
We’re drifting away.

No guys like me,
They think I’m weird,
They think I’m a bookworm,
But I know who I am.

I know what I’ve done,
I know what I’ve said,
It doesn’t bother me,
And that’s who I am.

This is good, you shouldn't change who you are for anyone =) I like how you ask a lot of questions in your poems also
