Mask

I'm nothing special,
I never have been,
Just deluded,
To think that, they could of seen.
Why don't they like me?
What did I do wrong?
I tried joining in, playing along.

I guess it's just, me.

Little glances,
The louder silence.
Giving out, so many chances.
Why do I feel this way,
They don't give a shit,
About what I say.
Yet here I am waiting,
For fake Nicities.

Turned to self violence.
The masking, the self hatred, I put on a show.
Hoping that they don't, know. But I know they know.
And that makes me turn.
Turn on myself, hate on myself.

Author's Note
I'm neurodivergent and growing up undiagnosed has led me to look at the themes that follow me. Friends I can't make, side eyes and fake smiles. Which only ever led me to hate on myself, when I really shouldn't.
