the Amies

by Siera Dooley - Pisces

So I'm stupid?
You know, I'm not naive.
I know I'm on the edge of the crowd,
The end of the line,
The arm of the couch.
When there's 13 people, 
There's me--
The sore, aching thumb.
I feel like my ribcage would collapse
if my pride didn't overwhelm me.
No one notices anymore,
And my hope keeps shrinking
In a desperate struggle
With the pretty, interesting,
Smart girls.
And here I am, so fucking stupid.
Hell no, I'm not naive.

Reason for writing:

    Every bitch named Amy I have ever met has made me feel this way.
