New Poem

I die inside so you can smile

I limp to my room so you can run a mile

I wear rags so you can have style

I cry inside so you can play outside in the leaf pile

I can break this family with one phrase

I could end their naive daze

Mom won’t think its just a phase

and it wont just be my heart set ablaze

But quiet ill stay for the sake of them all

I can take the pain no matter how big or small

I can “Trip” down the stairs and fall

I can get hit in the face with a “Soccer ball”

I live in hell so you can live care free

God help you all if anyone could see

But i’ll be what you need me to be

because pain for your happiness is a small fee
