| Just Because You Cant See It Don�t Mean It�s Not There There is pain in me Baby I wish you could see See how I�m not me You honestly think I have it easy Not a worry in the world Are you kidding me You actually believe my fake smiles My fake excuses such as �oh I�m just tired� I wish you could only see What I feel inside right now Because it�s totally not me If it were me I would be smiling on the worst day I would be ready for anything Taking things day by day And not being worried about what�s going to happen next Just being excited that I don�t know what�s in store I would want to go out, Have fun, Go crazy, And not be worried about who�s talking about what. But in fact that�s not the case I�m stuck in this building With people I thought were my �friends� But turned out to be much more Not for the better may I add. But high school changes people It changes you. You don�t realize it though, You continue to convince yourself it could never in a million years happen to you But before you know it� You see the changes in people first, Then in yourself You grow up with some, Look back and see everything so clear And now you look and they aren�t even in your life anymore You try your hardest to treat people the way you want to be treated And learn that no matter what you do those �friends� won�talways stay true to you They will complain you are trying to get in their business When really you were being a good friend and trying to protect them. No matter what you do You pay for it in the end. You learn that no matter how much you try Usually things will not turn out the way you want them to You feel so exasted, Tired out, And like you just want to give up for good. But you get this little boost Kind of like an electrical shock To your hear, and to your mind Telling you that it is so easy to give up on things Especially people, But no matter how much they piss you off You know you will always be there for them. Because you AREN�T like them, You would never bail on them You would never talk about them Unless it was to their face Its not in you to stoop lower then them. You love and respect yourself to much to do such a thing. You will continute to stay strong because you have friends who love you And actually care about you. They even care when they see the smallest tear fall from your eyes. They want to hear your hopes Your dreams Your thoughts, And they WILL support you through the good and bad times. No matter what Tina, Remember to treat others the way you would want them to treat you No matter how pig headed, Stubborn, Idiotic, And messed up the may seem. Because in the end you are the one who is the better person, And not because you dedicated you time to not giving up on them But because you were their friend.
