"You are my role model"
Your words resounds in my heart-you are my role model-
yet I wonder
how I earned this title.
To know you look up to me-
to know how you
overlook my flaws.
But to me-
they are still there.
I wish I could erase them
so that I could be the person
that you really look up to.
How do I prove myself to you-
you have already given
me this honor-
but I do not feel worthy.
I have tried to
perfect myself,
yet I am hiding something
from you
for you to think
of me
as a role model.
I am in no way perfect,
but to you I seem to be-
in your ways I am
so I will no longer
let myself
think this way about
my own self.
I want to see me
the way you see me.
