Awwww, you're so pure? Why, IS it I insist upon complimenting my friends and they cannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnot take it at all? I'm dubbed pure innocent sweet How come? Am I just a people pleaser? Terrified of social rejection so I try too hard to be that "nice" girl But, is she me? Actually? Cause, I do see the good in others And the bad Letting one out Keeping the other In secure In Criticisms layered, with little flowers Revealed as soft and mushy No hard edges Overly soft, As if one were protecting a child But, Is It Me?

The People Pleaser
Awwww, you're so pure? Why, IS it I insist upon complimenting my friends and they cannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnot take it at all? I'm dubbed pure innocent sweet How come? Am I just a people pleaser? Terrified of social rejection so I try too hard to be that "nice" girl But, is she me? Actually? Cause, I do see the good in others And the bad Letting one out Keeping the other In secure In Criticisms layered, with little flowers Revealed as soft and mushy No hard edges Overly soft, As if one were protecting a child But, Is It Me?
Sometimes, I feel this way. It's like I'm fake but real at the same time.
