They're Not Real

They’re not real

That’s what those around me tell me

They comfort me, they laugh with me

But they’re not real

They take their time to do what those around me claim to have no time for

But they’re not real

They’re miles away but always there for me

But they’re not real

I long for the days where I can see them while wishing that I can get away form those around me

But they’re not real

They show me that I am not strange or weird or different

But they’re not real

They understand me when I can’t even talk to those around me

But they’re not real

I’d spend all my time with them, had I chance to do so

But they’re not real

I talk to them every day while being ignored by those around me

But they’re not real

They give me validation, show me that I matter

But they’re not real

Where those around me avoid me they’re the ones who think of me first

But they’re not real

They’re not real because those around me cannot understand that I’M NOT ONE OF THEM

They’re not real because those around me cannot understand that FRIENDSHIP IS NOT A MATTER OF LOCATION

But of heart

And trust

The people you see everyday inf ront of your open eyes, they’re not your friends

The people you see whenever you close your eyes, they are your friends

They are your friends

And they are real

Because they’re not those around me

But I like being around them
