Vs. Poem by Katie P...

I try so hard to please you
and at the same time i have to try so hard to please all of them.
When i try so hard, all i do is mistake,
and when, at the times i feel most faraway from them,
Is when i please you most.
So at times like this, I ask myself,
'How do I please the one who gave me life, and yet please the ones that shine my life with so much joy? '
Is it life vs. joy? or just
mother vs. friends? or just
me learning to live life vs. faving my worst nightmares? '
