I want you to love me,
Regardless of what I do or say;
For only when others tell me to fly, I can be free.
Even for a moment of recognition, I will plea,
I think about making people happy from night to day;
I want you to love me.
For every spark of amusement in your eyes I see,
I say anything to make the glimmering light stay;
For only when others tell me to fly, I can be free.
All five of my senses connect and agree,
When putting my favorite comments on display;
I want you to love me.
I camouflage with every person, I guarantee,
So I’m not left alone or told to go away;
For only when others tell me to fly, I can be free.
If I’m boring you with this poem, I’m truly sorry,
Without your approval, my mind’s a disarray.
I want you to love me.
For only when others tell me to fly, I can be free.
