Try to be
A nice girl--
Sweet and supportive
Understanding...
No backstabbing,
No underhanded tricks
No Petty squabbles.
But the more life settles
The less you care
And all the niceties of life
disappear--
Fade away to reveal
A petty world around you
And you don't want to be
--A nice girl.
Express your anger
Or cage it away
Stop being the soggy shoulder
Or continue to comfort?
When logic asks:
Why care for the world
when the world doesn't care for you?
But your heart says do the right thing--
You can't hide that deep inside
A nice girl
Lives.
Waits for that final blow.
