Don't worry.
I'm used to being overlooked.
The gazes just sliding past me,
Never focusing on the girl
With the nice blond hair.
Being picked last for a team,
Not because they didn't like me.
They just forgot I was there.

Don't worry.
I'm used to being alone.
Getting called to hang out with the guys,
Playing video games,
And eating junk food.
One day, I showed up in a dress.
They all look startled.
Clearly, they forgot I was still a girl.

Don't worry.
I'm used to being criticized.
My gray eyes are too dark,
To be pretty.
I'm a bit too innocent looking
To have guys checking me out.
I am too awkward
For my clumsiness to be endearing.

Don't worry.
I'm used to being let down.
"I just have to get things figured out."
"I have to putting a couple of other
Things first right now, you understand."
Of course, I understand.
I don't know how to fight for you.
And if I did, would you even want me too?

lots of nice sentiment here, although a bit self serving

for the protagonist, but nice as it stands

"I have to putting a couple of other" assume this is a typo?

two-2

too-also

to- adds action to go, to eat, to write

Suggestions

On the title:

"Don't Worry, I'm Used to It"

This line:

""I have to put a couple of other"

And, just for your consideration, possibly dropping the final letter in the last word of the poem. It would change the sound slightly, and the meaning also.

Five.

I like this

Sometimes it's easy to forget that girls/women are just as confused as boys/men
