Lavender's Mimosa: A Collection Of Poems

Compromise

Everything I do, there's a problem

You always seem to find it 

You nitpick the unnecessary 

And know how to kill my vibe;

I wished you stopped listening to all the outside voices

And let me be me

But you rather the restrictions

And to confine me to constraints.

Constraints of what's deemed normal

Of how I should be

It's what you're used to, it's what you've been taught for years

I can't blame you, you're really not the main person to blame

And yes, if I were in your shoes, I possibly could understand the shame.

To accept something different

It may be hard.

I love you, I really do

But honestly, I'm sick and tired of trying to reach a compromise with you.
