How come?

Are you aware

what you did?

For the third time?

Once again?

Do you know

how I feel?

Ignored

overlooked

how come?

How come you didn't put in my effort?

How come every time I try, my hard work is not included?

It's absolutely not my fault

I know that

but it's most definitely yours.

Do you know

how much time it took for me to do that?

Do you know

how frustrated I got over it

my only beacon was people enjoying it?

I'm not trying to guilt trip you about this

you should be guilty enough on your own.

    Revival

    It's a band piece

    weird, I know

    it's from last year

    and we only played it in concert once

    but it means a lot to me

    it reminds me of a lot.

    Me

    How

    do others see me?

    Do they see a girl in gray cargo pants and light blue thermal quarter zip?

    Do they see a friend who loves them despite her crankiness?

    Do they see a quiet awkward girl who prefers books to people?
