Why do you stare
Into the gleaming light device
That holds your so called friends
Selfies
Facebook
Snapchat
Twitter
Instagram
And your lastest posts about your new crush

When I am here
Sitting here
Waiting
Watching
Your hands are lightning flashes
Moving across the screen
Your head tilted downward
Giving me a perfect view of the scar on the very top of your head

LOOK UP!!!
I scream
Why won’t you look at me
I am real
I am here
I am the true friend

I've been waiting

You haven’t even glanced my way

I stand up and leave
Turning back to find, unfortunately
All heads are down
Not one person sees

They only see the laughs, smiles, memories, sorrow and loss
Of someone else
Somewhere far away

LOOK UP!!
I scream
You are creating your own monsters
You are creating your own isolation
Because if you lose the trust
Of those so called friends you have
Then you are done
No one will be left for you to complain to
Laugh with
Smile with
Cry with

SO LOOK UP NOW!!!!
Before it’s too late

Meet new friends
Not request them

Look up now
Look people in the eye
And smile
