Please Don't Judge the Dark (Free-form Poems)

Are You Proud?

What wrong with me?

That makes you hate me?

Is it my hair,

My eyes,

My smile?

I wanted you to be proud.

I tried to change for you.

You just kept pushing.

You will never be proud. 

I will always have to fall.

Well, My dear family.

You pushed me to the edge.

I was proud to see that.

You have drive.

But I was sad to see how it is.

I can't come back from this.

You push me over this jagged cliff.

So tell me this. 

Are you proud?

*To all those who get pushed back time and time again. You can't always please them. Be proud of yourself. Never push them. Understand that they put you down without your permission. What they say doesn't matter. Be there for yourself!
