14. You Seem to Have Forgotten

They won't take you anywhere.

You seem to have forgotten

That when we were little

We were best friends

Who sat together at lunch

And played on the playground

You were just waiting to ditch me

To trade up to a newer model

I was a social outcast

And you wanted to be popular

I was nothing but a stepping stone

As soon as they accepted you

You became a bully

Just as mean to me as they were

You seem to have forgotten
That you used to say you hated them

It's like you became a different person

One that I didn't much care for

I guess it was always inside of you

You were always that mean girl

It was just waiting to emerge

Did you ever stop to think about

How your actions made me feel?

Or how I felt when suddenly my best friend

Wasn't my best friend anymore?

I felt like such an idiot for not seeing this coming

You seem to have forgotten who you were

You've traded your identity for popularity

Was it really worth it in the end?

Was it really worth losing your best friend?

But at least one good thing's come out of this

For three years you were a friend

But I don't need or want friends like you

Ones who spill all of my secrets

To her new buddies who aren't nearly as cool

As you seem to think they are

You seem to have forgotten

That I was the one who actually cared

But I guess now I've seen your true colors

All you did was step on me

Now all I have to say is to you is goodbye, Brooke

Author's Note

This is about someone who I thought was a friend but who, as soon as she got the opportunity, turned her back on me in favor of the popular girls.
