When you suddenly realize
No one notices
When your little world
Is coming down,
Crashing down
Around you.
Then you realize
No one sees
The tears in your eyes.
They don't care enough
To look beneath
Your surface.
They don't know
You well enough
To know the difference.
When you realize
You probably
Don't know them.
Then you realize
If it came down to it
You could never be
Their first choice.
In the end
It's no one's fault.
In the end
You're always
Everyone's
Second choice.
In the end
You're always
The awkward new girl.
Never finding
Your place
In the real world.
