No One In Particular

You

You're as shallow as a teaspoon
And you think you're deeper than a well

You say you'll go to heaven
While I know you'll go to hell

And I don't why I know you
And I don't know why we're friends 

You're never there when I need you
and somehow everyone else is

Just know that when it ends
it ends

No go backs or do overs
This isn't childhood again

Best friends forever?
Whatever. You think you're so clever?

I can't even count the dramatic acts you've put me through
Most plays only have 2

We must be on 17
Some plays have 5

and that is too many for me even
and I act


You act too
You act pretty and all knowing and naive and ugly and shy and confident and everything at once
You're like a book of emotions and colors and songs

No wonder they all love you
They can all have a different you
You change for everyone else, but not for yourself

At least I know who I am
At least I know who you aren't
