Speaking the Truth

The days I don't deserve love at all,
those are the days I need it the most.
Whenever you're frustrated with me when
I struggle with what to wear or how I look,
imagine how frustrated I am with myself.
While your decisions don't physically hurt me,
they're breaking my heart.
Maybe it's because not everything in this
life is black and white,
maybe you just don't care what anyone else feels.
But maybe you should,
maybe you should care what influences my day,
or what battles I am fighting with myself.
I guess you just don't understand,
there's just so much truth behind what you see.

What Chris already said, very well written Maegan. It has a feeling of sadness in it, but there is also a hidden strength there. Welcome to PoetrySoup.
