Know Me

How can I know so many people and none know me?

I want someone to understand me like I understand myself

I am a good person

I am brilliant

Why won’t any one see that

I have goals and ambition

I am smart

I am fucking hilarious

I am stylish

I am beautiful

I know this

Why doesn’t anyone else?

I know I don’t need anyone’s acceptance

I want it

Because some days I see myself the way others do

And I don’t like it
