Trying to Please


Excerpt from Poem "Trying to Please"



Trying to please, I masquerade as someone else;
Am I ashamed of who I am, cannot be myself?
Why do we get consumed with what other people think?
To have fun or take the edge off some feel they have to drink.

Why do we get all wrapped up like that, I don’t think it’s just
To stake our whole life’s happiness on one made of dust.
