What We Deserve


You don't deserve

to see the light in my eyes

when I get excited.

 

You don't deserve

to hear the joy in my voice

when I talk about something I love.

 

You don't deserve

to see me happy

because you are everything that's holding me back.

 

And I deserve

to be happy without you.

n.f.p.e

My twin sister and I are the youngest of 6 children and we have our own twin language. All of our other siblings are only half brothers and sisters but we consider them full siblings since we have grown up with them our whole lives and love them a lot. I have never written a lot of poetry but I have always loved and I am looking to expand my poetic experience. Any comments or suggestions are helpful and encouraged, Thanks!
