Speaking Out

My smiles are kind
My compliments are free
so please don't charge me with your blank stares,
and ignorant fees.

I am not a child,
but your words do hurt.
Squeeze my heart any harder,
it'll just burst.

I am not here to stain your reputation,
what you hold so high,
but im also not here to be stepped on
by your high heels of pride.

Every breath I breathe for you
Every breath I lose for me
Every thought I think of you,
Every moment I lose a piece of me.
