I like to believe you're staring
Right at me
When I'm not looking.
I like to pretend
That I can feel your eyes on me
Carefully watching my movements.
I like to think
That you look at me
The way I look at you.
I like to take comfort
In the hope
That you might feel the same.
This is how I go on.
I pretend.
I play make believe.
All of my actions
Are planned out
To be something you would appreciate.
Even if you dont notice,
I make myself be
Someone whom you would like.
I make myself
Be a person
That everyone thinks is loving.
I know you all too well
So I know
What kind of people you admire.
My whole life
Revolves around trying to please you.
Even though you don't take notice.
It doesn't make me mad
That I live off of you
Because it makes me better.
I be the best me
I can be
When I'm trying to make you notice me.
So thank you
For being a good person
That I have to out-do with kindness.
I like to believe
That you watch me.
Because that is how I continue.
