Effort is not weakness

You wound me so much

with your constant judgements and

your hypocrisy

Your hypocrisy

is like a sweetheart online,

but truly heartless

But truly heartless

in real life, can’t stand it,

I can’t just pretend

I can’t just pretend,

I can’t pretend we are fine,

it’s just not enough.

It’s just not enough

to tolerate and accept

something that breaks us

Something that breaks us,

why can’t you just comprehend

your pride can kill you

Your pride can kill you,

it can make your heart so small,

don’t be ashamed please.

Don’t be ashamed please,

don’t let pride take over you,

falling is okay.

Falling is okay,

it’s okay to cry like rain,

tell me you are wrong.

Tell me you are wrong,

admitting things creates peace,

you are attractive

You are attractive,

when you illustrate effort,

effort, no begging.

Effort, no begging,,

to show effort is to show

that you value me.
