did you want to see me broken?
Hey, can I sit with
you guys?
No, the loser table is
that way. Sorry.
do you
like to know
that after i've
walked away
after my head
has been held high
my grin starts
to fade and
my shoulders
start to droop
and my eyes
fall
to the floor
as tears cascade
i can't take
this anymore
what makes
you feel like royalty
the friends that
TAP-HEART-TO
LIKE-IMAGE
your selfies
the admirers wistfully
eyeing you as if they'd
kill
to be
in that empty
chair next to you
feeling just as
powerful
instead of hiding
like me
when you're all
alone
do you feel
satisfied
does your selfish
mind ever wander
back to the words
tossed with careful
hate
at the invisible girl
whose tears
stain her jacket
tan and faded
whose lips
tremble to hold
back a sob
whose heart
slowly breaks as
she turns and
walks
away
did you want to see me broken?
