I’m an imposter

I am a fraud

I am the farthest thing from perfect

I swear to god

-

I am impatient

I’m sometimes a jerk

I wear my feelings on my sleeve

I set myself up to get hurt

-

I am a dreamer

I love to laugh

I sometimes make jokes at myself

I cover up when I’m sad

-

I will tell you I’m fine

I will say I am sorry

I will push down my emotions

I don’t want you to worry

-

I take on too much

I don’t know how to say no

I get overwhelmed

I won’t ever let that side of me show

-

I just want to feel happy

I like the feeling of love

I think sometimes we hold on too long

I don’t like to give up

-

I share too much, way too soon

I need to learn to slow down

I have found I don’t have many friends

I don’t know why no one stays around

-

I like to write what I feel

I like the way that rhymes sound

I appreciate your time and thoughts

I love that you read what I’m writing down

-

I hope you get what I mean

I write to help someone else

I find it healing to put it out there

I need to learn to get beyond myself

-

I wish you goodness and love

I hope that life treats you well

I’ll be glad if you find something in my poems

I want you to keep for yourself

❤️
