Who am I?


Who am I?

Who am I when the likes and retweets don't matter?

What do I do when no one is watching?

What brings my blood to a boil?

Who do I hold when the tears won't stop falling?

Who's behind my smile?

Who am I?

 

When the likes and retweets don't matter

I still have make up on, not to impress anyone,

But because I feel better with it.

I run around in my pajamas

Because clothes make feel entrapt

 

What do I do when no one's watching?

I lay in my bed.

I read all the books my room has to offer

I get lost in the fantasy of my dreams

I rock guys world in their war game

She's too tiny to have an army they said

Oh shit I lied is what they respond

 

What gets me mad? Who stops my tears?

Telling me I can't do somethng

You don't know me nor my story

Just stand back and watch

Those selfies don't tell you

Half of what I'm capable of

But in the end when I can't fix it

I crawl in my daddy's bed

Because he was there when no one else was

 

My smile you may ask?

I have but a few friends,

Yet they're all that I need

They surprise me with my favorites

Remind me I'm loved

Remind me no  matter how I feel

I am worth something

 

Who am I?

I'm daddy's girl

I'm the girl who

Know more about trucks 

Than most guys.

I'm the girl

Who lives to prove

Those who say I can't

That can, I sure as hell can

I'm Halley
