being secret friends is shallow

hey all!
Try this on for size. You meet someone, and get on really great with them. You guys have a lot on common, and stay up all hours texting each other and emailing each other. You tell him (or her) your deepest thoughts and biggest fears, you trust them, and begin to let them in. What’s the catch? To quote from a film, it’s like you are “secret friends”. No one can ever find out. They pass you on the streets and it’s like you don’t exists. Every felt like that? Here’s a poem I wrote a few year back:

Everyday you pass me by

Everyday you pass me by
No hello or goodbye
I wonder if you notice me
But everyday you do not see
I long for you to say hello
But instead you just go
Ignore me as you always do
But why you do, I have no clue
Perhaps you are ashamed to know
Someone’s whose popularity is low
If that’s true I find that sad
That popularity means more than a friend
If that’s what you love and care
Losing it is what you fear
Swallow you pride and do what’s right
Don’t judge others at first sight
Forget you rep for what its worth
Don’t you think we’ve seen enough?
Just you keep on walking by
But I’m still willing to give it a try

Being uncool aint a bad thing people. I’ve lived my whole life being uncool and I’m getting on ok. Oh too often, people who are “cool” think that they are so much better that you…actually, they’re not. I’ve spent a lifetime living in the shadows of others, of those who think they are better than I, and let me tell you, its cold back here. It gets lonely after a while too. It truly saddens me that people feel that their “rep” will be damaged for socialising with a social outcast. What’s worse, is that they do actually care about what other people think. Why spend a lifetime living up to other people’s expectations instead of your own?

Don’t get me wrong, being rejected aint fun, actually it hurts like crazy. But after a few years of this, you learn to expect it. Trust me! If people don’t want to be seen with you, ask yourself, do you want to be seen with them? Do you actually want to associate yourself with someone who is that shallow?

Don’t waste your time trying to fit in, when we are all born to stand out and be ourselves.
