High Maintenance

High Maintenance

I have to be honest

I'm a lot to handle

Keeping me happy

Is a full-time job

I expect texts

Every hour or two

"Thinking about you"

"Miss you"

"Can't wait to talk later"

Short and sweet is perfect

I want to know where you are

And what you are doing

If I know in advance

That you will be unavailable

I won't stress

When I don't hear from you

You see,

I'm not unreasonable

I just need to feel important

Like everything I say

And everything I do

Is worth paying attention to

And I need compliments

Smart, pretty, funny, sexy...

I want to be everything

I have to be honest

I'm a lot to handle!

Are you sure I'm worth it?

Far From Perfect

Far From Perfect

Perfect
What does the word even mean?
I feel so flawed
I know I'm hard to handle
I know sometimes
I get way too emotional
I know I cry too much
And when my anxiety sets in
My self-esteem goes down the toilet
Sometimes I'm too loud
Sometimes I'm too quiet
I know I'm extra needy
I do need a LOT of attention!
Yet other times
I can't help but worry
About ALL the problems in the world
I'm also a little bit crazy-
Yes, sometimes that is fun
But it can also be challenging
I know I am a challenge
And I make things hard
But, sometimes I think I am amazing
I'm smart and funny
I love to laugh!
Some days, I even feel beautiful!
But deep down
I always remember
I'm human and I'm flawed
I can only hope
That to someone
I'm worth it!

Superpower

Superpower

I just found out
I have a superpower
I can be
Invisible
Maybe not to everyone
Maybe just to you
You look in my direction
But you don't see me
This power
I am trying to learn
To control it
I speak to you
But you don't hear me
If I can become invisible
Surely I can also become
Noticeable
Unmistakeably seen
So I come closer
To touch you
But you don't feel me
I have a superpower
I know I do
But I think
I'd rather
Not be so super
And instead
Just be
Me
Just be
Seen
