Daria

I never really heard I was pretty

Not from her anyways

She made my looks seem like a bad thing

I think sometimes people are too focused on the past

Which is wrong because the present is now and the future is still coming

And we must not dwell on those things we've experienced in the past

It's ok that you don't talk to me every day because we're busy people

Even though I want to

I love our conversations and how you stayed up past 1 am and we had school in the morning

There's so much pain in the way she said it

The way she said they don't like her anymore

The way her face fell when they left without her

I'm a free spirit

I do as I please

Telling me 'no'

Let me be alone

I'm better off that way

I don't want to hurt anyone

It's dark here

In the places the sun don't shine

Like the scary thoughts

I have scars

From when the road had new gravel and I fell off of my bike

I have scars

It's summertime and we'd never met face to face before

You pick me up at 2 am

Your voice is deep and wonderful

I used to stand so close to you with such ease

But I'm a wreck now

My body shakes and I buckle at the knees
