Good Girl

Sometimes something isn't 'good' enough to be posted but you need to let it go somewhere else other than just inside.

I’m too much of a good girl

To curse and scream and cry.

I’m too much of a good girl

To ever say goodbye.

I’m too much of a good girl

To yell and complain.

I’m too much of a good girl

To tell you about my pain.

I’m too much of a good girl

To mark my arms and wrists.

I’m too much of a good girl

To show this heart of twists.

I’m too much of a good girl

To let the truth be known.

I’m too much of a good girl

To ever let my heart be shown.

I’m too much of a good girl

To bring this to an end.

I’m too much of a good girl

To let you know what I intend.

I’m too much of a good girl

To be taken seriously.

I’m too much of a good girl

To be seen mysteriously.

I’m too much of a good girl

That you wouldn’t believe

Deep inside

This good girl isn’t doing great.

I’m too much of a good girl

For you to believe I’m stressed.

Heck.

I’m too much of a good girl

For you to believe I’m depressed.

Expression of anything should be a positive thing yet society seems to appreciate ticked boxes. good poem, strong.

It's hard to live up to being a good girl.
I really enjoyed your poem and the style of your writing! Nice work! :-)

It's true you can never tell what goes on inside of one's mind... there's always much more to people than what they show. Nice poem.
Keep up the good work =)
