PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I know I have it in me,

I could rule the world if I wanted too.

But I’m so afraid to let you down,

That that’s what I end up doing.

The look in your eyes

And the disappointment on your face,

Are like daggers.

Ripping through my heart,

Through my very soul.

All I want is to make you smile,

Because of something I did.

All I want is to make you proud.

I know I have it in me,

I just wish I could find it.

Whatever would make me the best,

And in your eyes,

Put me ahead of all the rest.

I just want to make you proud.

I can’t bear to see you turn away,

With your head down one more time.

Every time I see that look on your face,

It’s like the world has dropped out from under me and everything goes spiraling out of control.

I don’t want to fail you again.

When you say my name,

I want there to be happiness in your voice,

Instead of disappointment.

I’m so scared to fail you again,

And that’s what I end up doing.

I just want to make you proud.
