Why?

Why?

Why does he make such an effort?

I'm useless.

Why does he talk to me so much?

Everyone else is terrified of me.

Why does he want to know what's on my mind?

No one else does.

Why does he try so hard to be a good friend?

My only friend in this God damned place.

I'm not that interesting,

Am I?

No.

Of course not.

I'm antisocial.

That's all.

I hate people.

But still, he tries...

Why?

Why can't be like everyone else

And leave me alone?

He would if I asked him to.

But why not, otherwise?

Why does he try so hard?

But why do I have to be so difficult?

Why do I have to make him try?

Why can't I be a little more talkative?

Why can't I be a little more open?

A little less scared?

A little more social?

Outgoing?

Why do I have to be the quiet one?

The wallflower?

The raging storm of emotions inside?

Different?

Why does he want to know me?

Been here, done this. I related to this so much. Besides a few punctuational errors, this was fantastic. Well done.

P.S. Would you mind taking a look at my novel, HIM, please? I'd like to send it in for publishing but won't until I get as much feedback as I possible can. This is where you come in! (:

We need to be those raging storms......because the outgoing, boisterous, "sunshine" type people also need rain :) Great writing!

Perhaps he sees a lot of you in himself and empathises a lot with the writers predicament in the full knowledge that when we are alone and feel alone - thats the worst time to be alone !
All the questions in this are valid and relevant though tainted by self-doubt and low self-esteem.

A good use of fonts show the disjointed thinking involved. Good write!

Did it occur to you that he may love you? That he loves you just the way you are? You don't need to change for him if he tries so hard to know you the way you are. So let it be. Enjoy yourself as he does.

Actually... I'm not sure how he feels about me... Sometimes he makes me feel like the only girl in the world, and that is the best feeling ever... But other times, he makes me feel like I was never good enough... And that is the worst feeling ever... And the worst part is, he has no idea he's doing it... He confuses me...

[Hole_in_Time]

If he doesn't know, tell him.

[Shadow of Death]

I can't. I don't know how he'll react. I'm afraid of that.

Very nice work here. The repetition of the word ”why" echoes the effect of your confusion throughout the piece. Its always easy to turn away but the difficult thing to do is always the best. Like opening up. Job well done here.
