I don’t know how to feel anymore
Just like everyone I know
I don’t know who to trust
I don’t know much
My feelings are mixed
Just like my thoughts
If you think I’m perfect
You thought wrong
I may seem perfect
Like I have it all
But that is just a mask
I wear
To make sure I don’t fail
Everyone’s so worried about their future
But I sit in the back
Worried about my past
Everything’s about technology
And what the ‘cool’ thing is
Everyone wants that
But I don’t know what to think
My feelings play the victim
While my heart screams good and true
I don’t know who my friends are
But I sure hope you do
You may call me a ‘social butterfly’
Or the girl that has it all
But that is such a mixed up label
That isn’t true at all
I just want a place to fit
Like a puzzle piece with friends
Because a puzzle by itself
Doesn’t know where to fit in
This is why my feelings are mixed
I want to be a person
Who knows their place
Who has the ‘right’ friends
But after all of this,
Who really decides who is ‘cool’ enough?
You
Or them?
