PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I've always wanted to make you proud

Never get in the way, Never too loud

Straighten my clothes

So no one knows

Smile until my face hurts

So nothing shows

People ask me why I bother trying

If I'm not myself, to you I'm lying

It's not fair to you

I don't know what to do

I want to be perfect

If only for you.

But I know you understand why

You know my secrets... Why I never cry

Why I'm so bleak

About it I don't speak

You wont either, Because you see

I am you and you are me.
