Poems Vol.1 ~emotional~

jealosy..?!.??...!! ///

she says nobody likes her,
i say some people like me.
she says she's ugly,
i say im not stunning, but kind of pretty.
she says she has no friends,
i say i have a good few,
she says boys dont matter,
i say boys are cool.
i tell her to stop lying
when she says that im prettier;
because shes missing the facts
so clearly paved in front of her.
the truth is lots of people like her,
just ask anybody at my school.
and really, im not not liked,
but heck, im not cool.
she is absolutely drop dead gorgeous,
ask the 500 boys that have asked her out-
meanwhile, i've had 2 people show interest in me,
but that was 4th grade; as if that counts.
she has plenty of friends, really,
theres a list on my phone for evidence,
i have a fair amount, i suppose,
but no amount very dense.
boys are extremely important to her,
dang, she rants about them all the time,
and while dude friends are cool to me
i dont need someone to call mine.
when i tell her shes pretty
she says that im blind,
when she tells me i am,
i dont really mind.
but if for one minute she thinks
im prettier than her
she must be joking or tired
or her mind a blur.
people compliment her left and right,
telling her shes cute, gorgeous, stunning,
people who tell me that,
are either parents, or very cunning.
im jealous; of everything,
not just the looks,
but her modesty and ignorance,
which cant be learned from books.
how does she not see it?
she's a sapphire, and i, pyrite,
both shiny, but only one a gem,
i just cant tell try as i might,
what she sees in me that is not in her.
she is an ocean and i am dirt.
i am jealous.
