This is probably the most personal poem I've ever written simply because it's just a list of my insecurities
I've always found it hard to fall asleep
Always had trouble with my self esteem
No one loved me enough to break my heart
Broke it myself, my mind tore it apart
I love to be hugged a little too much
Never was able to learn how to trust
I've never been needed, never been kissed
I miss you but I'm not the one you miss
Don't try to be tragic, just too intense
Though in most debates I stay on the fence
I'm obsessed with being pretty enough
When I'm vulnerable I try to act tough
The second I'm hurt I push you away
Though everything in me wants you to stay
I want more affection than I deserve
Others have problems and I just observe
I never cry cos I learnt not to feel
Everything's better when it's not real
I'd be a good wife, not a good girlfriend
If I feel happy I know it will end
