A question I seem
to have a difficult
time answering,
it may sound simple
do I Boast
and Brag?
Sometimes,
but Who doesn't,
Is it so wrong
to want
people to lke
me?
or should I just
become lonely
until the sun soon
rises and brings
me wonderful
people
along with
the new day
I just want
to get
the attention
of the
people surrounding me
or maybe even just one?
is it so wrong for
them to get
to know me
so that I
can share the
pain the
broken heart
all of which are
inside me
eating away at
my optimism
gnawing at
the love I used
to be
able to
hand out like
free candy
So to answer this
immorally complicated
question
can I be both?
because I am
I become pretentious
around the
people I want
to impress
and I become
un-conceited
around those
who need love
and compassion
the ones who need
a stranger to
give them
a hug
or a smile
I will continue
to spread
the love
that was
never given
to me
that's all
the world
and I
need
so can
you please
do the
same for
me?

All the world needs is a few more acts of kindness go and buy lunch for someone or just tell them you care for them. Love and Listen those are the two things broken people need most. Most importantly respect yourself and love yourself before you try to do the same for someone else. You won't ever be ready to open up but with every step to becoming less pretentious comes more happiness and love. :)
