Life In Defeat Poem by Chey Tru Love

My parents may not know
But I'm not as they think
Smarter and quicker than
Anything and light on my feet
I intimidate others
My intelligence is impeccable
My voice is well-known
My sadness undetectable
I want their trust
But do I deserve it
I've become better
But they ask am I worth it
The risk of exposing me to the world
Delicate as a rose
And expensive as a pearl
I know there protecting me
In the risk of ruining my life
I do want to talk to them
But it doesn't seem right
I might be mistaken
But something's they think they know
Well I try to forget my past
But they don't let go
But to bring it up
Well I try to forget
Is the point of acknowledging it
Suppose to make me regret
Well I do
And it burdens my mood
Sometimes I wish things
Where what they used to
But I've change
Maybe they just don't see it
I wish I could be given a chance
to make them believe it
But I ruined it
Now my chances are discrete
Stuck with the consequences
My life in defeat
