We accept the love we think we deserve.


She’s annoying and a drag

You can’t take her anywhere

She gets too excited and can’t be quiet

She lights up a room which should have stayed dark

Leaves her fingerprints on every little thing


She’s a brainiac and has a curious mind

Too much energy and positivity

Nothing much gets her down

A ray of sunshine and a breath of fresh air

She’s a liability


I wish she would just tone it down

Give the attention she earns to someone else

How dare anyone say it jealousy

She’s a liability

We’ve all torn her down

So she doesn’t see all her amazing qualities


She cries herself to sleep

A dark curtain between who she really is

And who we all tell her she is

She’s a liability


Too much potential and admiration

Can’t let her know how much we all envy her

She’s a liability


The author's comments:

This piece is about myself and how I've been treated. Throughout my life, I have had people ignore me and treat me as a liability, but I have always heard such positive things about myself. I don't like to think people are jealous or envy me but I tried to put myself first. I tried to see things from a unique and different perspective.
