Edgartopia
I wanted to tell my friends my deepest darkest secret today
I was so excited I couldnt sleep
the secret that i’ve been emotionally DYINGGG to tell someone… anyone
it’s been ripping my skin and making my bones numb, i can't even walk
been so exceeted- excited* i can't even talk
I played the image in my head 1 2 many times
Each time my smile getting bigger.. bigger
rerunning it like ice spices verse on boys a liar
and cardi b throwing a shoe at my girl nicky in my head
we would gather and i’d have a big smile and rip off the bandaid and they would hug me and maybe even cry if i’m lucky
they would finally get me because I love them
And they love me
They were talking about plans today
my favorite place Knotts Berry Farm
some call it edgartopia now, but i call it utopia
ooh they were talking for hours and hours
I got so excited
Thinking about their famous pickle going down my throat
Or the excelerator accelerating my heart rate
But I guess there weren’t anymore flowers
I guess we weren’t as close as i thought
Because they were talking for hours and hours about plans… i wasnt invited too
This isnt the first time either
they have invited me to anything
Coming back from a long night at the movies; getting boba on main street
And laughter fills their air, why’ll sadness fills mine
I was so excited but that excitement turned into disappointment
and disappointment turned into loneliness
and long nights sitting alone in my room wondering if im even good enough to take up the space im sitting in
Would my friends be happier if they didnt have to hear me ramble all the time
Because
thank god i didn’t tell them my deepest darkest secret

I have always had a very hard time fitting in and finding friend groups that accept me for me. It has been an on going cycle ever since I can remember that I have always had the worst luck finding friends that treat me like I am worth something to them. This poem depicts not only my feelings but all teenagers who feel super lonely.
