I want to be loved so bad
I forget how to love myself
Strangers define me
Living with a mask is sad
***
Nobody owns you
You owe nobody
They don't know you
They don't even care
It's too hard to be somebody
Who pleases everyone in the whole damn world
***
I seek approval
From internet faces
I seek adoration
Can't be loved by all
***
Nobody owns you
You owe nobody
They don't know you
They don't even care
It's too hard to be somebody
Who pleases everyone in the whole damn world
***
There's such a thrill
In not giving a shit
There's so much freedom
Outside a societal pit
There's no such thing
As a perfect soul
We all have quirks
Who am I living for
Who am I trying to impress
***
Nobody owns you
You owe nobody
They don't know you
They don't even care
It's too hard to be somebody
Who pleases everyone in the whole damn world

Darkness Falls
Introduction I am trying to stop myself doing these Eclipse poems but I can resist anything but temptation, and this shows how weak-willed I am. To make it a little more interesting I am going to describe an eclipse using the Acrostic and Fibonacci (Fib) poetic forms combined.
