sometimes, i believe i may be too nice.

people often comment on my smile
worn ever-so-proudly
like a badge of honor
i'm the girl that laughs the loudest
the life and soul of a party

you never hear people criticize happiness

but to me, it's a flaw
a fatal weakness
my Achilles heel;
for perhaps if i
was not so nice
i wouldn't care.

maybe, for a day, i could pretend to not.

but i do care.
too much.
more than
i care to admit.
i wish i didn't

no matter what is said and done, i let you back in.

you must take me
for a fool.
but your wicked
games have gotten
into my head
like a parasite.

sometimes, i believe i may be too nice.
and sometimes, i wish i could let go.
bed time for me, i think.
