Don't call me your best friend
You verbally abuse me
And put me down constantly
A best friend isn't one who calls you out for your insecurities
A best friend doesn't say what she knows will hurt you
She says what will help
And asks how you are when you clearly aren't okay
Not pressure you into saying what's wrong
A best friend is one who turns what you're scared of
Into what you're confident about
Not insult you about it
Yes i may be short
I can see
But it doesn't mean I want to be
Yeah I'm quirky
I can tell if I'm different
But it doesn't mean you call me weird
Maybe I'm not the smartest
But I still have a functioning brain
Everyone has a whole world going on in their heads
But if only you looked in mine
You'd see the unimaginable
The depression and anxiety
That you caused
And you'd see what you've done to me
So call me your best friend
And get jealous if i say you aren't mine
But just know
you will never understand me as much as you claim to
And you will never be as close to me as you once were
Because as long as you continue to abuse me
We will just grow farther and farther apart
Until you're out of the picture
Or I'm just gone.
