Here I am, happy, jovial.
Yet I look around and wait for my downfall.
Once again I've let them down, now it is time to pay.
Once again, I make those mistakes.

I look forward to the next time I can forgive myself,
Oh, it seems so far from now.
I want to laugh again,
To just breathe.

Once again I sit here waiting for the answers.
Did I screw it up again?
I know I try really hard to make the world stop spinning,
Yet it's never quite enough.

I can see where you're coming from with some of this. I know that sometimes I do things that I could NEVER forgive myself for, trying to impress people, and always trying to do the right things by fitting in. But in the end, I always end up hurting someone I love, so it's not worth it. Great poem! I'm looking forward to reading more emotional entrees from you!

with much love,
Mel

Hey, great poem.  I think I know how you feel.  I always try so hard to please other people, and try to be accepted.  It bothers me so much when people aren't happy with something I do.  But I guess that's life huh?  Hey you can still listen to my adive- don't worry about what other people think about some things.  Keep writing keep smiling
