My most harmful flaw
Is the insecurity within
Myself.

I am not unhappy
With myself, but
I am not content.

I love a boy with
All that I am,
And I'm terrified.

Even though he tells me
Daily not to worry about him,
I worry every second.

Because I've been hurt
So much before, it's hard
To trust the now.

I'm jealous of every
Girl that he's ever
Looked at.

I envy every girl
That has ever laid their
Eyes on him.

I'm not perfect,
But he is,
And he deserves better.

I push people away
And cry when
I'm all alone.

The boy I love
Can read me like a book,
This is the first time this has happened.

I won't sing for him
Because my voice will
Falter in front of such perfection.

I can't say I'm happy
With who I am, but I'm
Happy with who I'm with.

I can't make his
Dreams come true,
But I'll try my best.
