Soft

I let people disrespect me for the sake of being nice

always giving everyone the benefit of the doubt

I want to be the girl that people see is soft and sweet

even if that means letting others take advantage of me

I allow myself to be used

people think I'm blind to what they do

but I know when I'm being manipulated

I just don't stop them

because I want to be loved

I want to be valued

my friends say I act pathetic

that I need to stand up for myself

but is it worth making enemies?

part of me wants to be strong

to prove that I am capable

but I can't bring myself to do it

instead I stay quiet

and do the "nice" thing

maybe that means I am weak

but I don't know how to change

so for now I'll stay the soft girl

knowing I don't have the power

to be anything else
