Desperate Image

All my life I seek to give, Hoping to have a world to live, Wishing to please,my heart,men deceive, As unto their thoughts,I plead to cleave, Wanting to know what they think of me, Their expectations I try to be, Causing the true me to flee, For feasting on my innocence they glee, In their eyes,my respect,I loose, As I am treated like a goose, My pride and esteem lies in the roost, For from my eyes,bulky tears ooze, I stare in the mirror with sorrow, Witnessing the effect of their poisonous arrow, I seek to be a better me on the morrow, As I rise from the depth of fear's furrow,
