she is happy
she is kind
she is flawed
but she tries
she tries so hard
yet somehow its never enough
she will burn herself out
and they all say "well tough"
she cries all the time
she never sleeps in this town
shes so tired of being the loud one that always needs to be perfect
but she wont ever break because she wont let anyone down
so yes she is happy
yes she is kind
but she wont let her flaws be seen
shes too trapped inside her mind
so they see her as selfish
they see her as slow
they see her as messy
it shows so much it becomes all she knows
so now she sees herself as stupid
never up to par
the backup plan irrelevant and useless
the one they forgot in the backseat of the car
she is such a bad girl
she cant even clean her own house
stop talking your voice is too loud
why are you so quiet like a mouse
she can never just be there
she always has to be who they want her to be
everyone counts on her being who she is
and she hates making people upset so she takes that knee
the truth is she hates herself
wakes up asking why today
why cant i just die in my sleep
no one would care anyway
shes always second choice
and no one chooses her on their own
and why would they she thinks
im young and dont have socials or a phone
she knows shes the "immature one"
the one they can always laugh at
because she's always doing something silly
like talking to her cat
when will she be enough for you
when will you stop treating her like ****
because if you lived a day in her shoes
you would crumble and fall not keeping up the bit
so she puts on a brave face everyday
her lonliness like a tatoo
struggling with anxiety depression and ADHD
if she tells someone they say "oh not you!"
so you wonder why she likes solitude
why she stays up late to be alone
why she loves to escape to perfect worlds in books
why she is sad to her very bones
so she is messy
she is sweet
shell give you her drink if yours spills
make you a cake that wont be beat
why, well because her heart is too big
she love too hard
so right from the beginning
she shows all her cards
if you only take one thing
let it be this
just because she is always smilling
doesnt mean her life is bliss

this poem origionally took inspo from "She Used To Be Mine" by Sara Bareilles from the musical "Waitress" with my own spin to it. my personal opinion of this poem is not by any means in rose colored glasses so i think its crap. please let me know honest opinions(even if you think its dogshi-)<3
