  • NOBLE POETRY  

  • I never

    I never once made you happy
    not once
    you smile of pity and not pride
    proud is something you'll never feel for me
    I tried, you know
    tried to be what you wanted
    but trying isn't enough is it?
    I never made you proud
    seems to me like I'm a disappointment no matter where I go
    its hard smiling all the time
    hoping you'll give me a real smile back
    its harder pretending everything is fine
    the weight of the world cant compare to the weight of this
    its heavy and cold
    my heart is tired
    shall it rest here for a little?
    I never once wanted or asked to be this way
    I never asked to hurt or to be hurt
    I never asked for pain
    but with love comes pain I suppose
