Portraying Poetry - Original Poems by. Julie

When I (By. Julie O'Connor)

When I see you in the halls, I look down at my feet.

When I smell your cologne, I crinkle my nose.

When I talk to you, I feel unworthy.

and when I stand next to you, I feel invisible.

Am I not good enough for you or pretty enough for you?

you lower my confidence making me feel worthless and dead.

And even though I hate the way you make me feel, I always come running back.

You never talk to me in school

but somehow you still find a way to make me feel queasy.

and you still manage to make me give up on everything.

You don't like me but I still like you, but I never know why.

What have you done for me?

Why do you make me feel this way?

When I see you smile, you always squint your eyes.

When you laugh, I'm filled with happiness.

But when I see you with another girl, you're always everything to me

and you always will be

so why do you mean the world to me when I mean nothing to you?
