I shrink small.

I shrink small
And hide in the shadows
When I disappoint you
And make you yell at me.

I shrink small
And my shoulders slump
When I can't live up to you
And make you mad at me.

I shrink small
And tears fill my eyes
When I can't be a good friend
And your words are cold and distant.

I shrink small
Coldness overtakes me
I grab a jacket
Because my words don't mean much.

I shrink small
And crouch down, hugging my knees
Because even after writing you this poem
You won't understand how much you mean to me.

    Hi arabianballa

    You have put a lot of emotions and feelings from within in this piece, the imagery i got was sad because i could see you trying so hard to make things right.
    Hope it all works out for you. Keep writing

    Welcome to AllPoetry

    You have expressed your emotions well in this piece; it is a hard thing to deal with shouting off someone you care about, especially when you have not really done anything to deserve it

    Great poem!

      I know...

      I don't think I do things that deserve them yelling at me, but I hate how they might have had a bad day, and take it out on me.
