mess up
i messed up again.
(maybe that's just the way i am.)
it's just a stupid little mistake,
it shouldn't hold so much weight.
but i'm
a problem
in this den of perfects.
the dumb blond
who can't keep her thoughts straight.
tears are pricking
at my eyes.
but I can't start to cry
because dad'll be in soon
to say goodnight.
and if he sees my tears,
he'll sit down,
and look
and look
and look
at me.
and that look
makes me shut my mouth and wipe my tears.
(i guess that's just the way i am.)
because no one
should have that much concern
for an emotional teenager
who just messed up again.
