Be Myself Poem by Astra N.

Could I be,
Myself,
With you?

Could I just be quiet,
With no endless stories,
Of something new happening?

What did I do last weekend?
Nothing.
Blissful nothing.

Or does that seem strange to you?
Boring?
Unappealing?

Do I have to make things up,
To be worthy,
Of your notice?

Let's see, what did I do?
I danced with dragons.
I took a potion-making class.

You're looking at me funny.
Why?
I made it up, especially for you.

Does it even matter what I say,
As long as I say something,
Right?

With some sparkly photos to show as well I suppose.
I'll have to learn to make those,
Fake those.

A whole made up life,
Just to be liked,
By you.

No thanks.
