I turn
and look around
I feel a sharp burn,
just look at the ground.

Act like nothing happened
they keep on smiling at each other.
The way they are laughing.
And she just says she loves like a brother.

happens all the time
flirting with other girls.
All of them waiting in a line
getting told what and what not to do.

Why am I at the end of that line!
why am I getting thrown aside?
Just waiting to shine.
They all make me feel like I committed a crime!
But all I did was like a guy.
