The Bittersweet Truth
January 25, 2019
they tell me to be perfect,
with pretty looks and good manners
I tell them I'm a misfit,
carzy and unknown
they tell me to be a diary,
holding all their thoughts and feelings in a tomb
I tell them I am a pencil
in need of a diary of my own
they tell me to be a river,
free and going with the flow
I tell them I'm a lake
sitting still and full of sorrow
