Smarty pants

 I can't recall a compliment 

From my mother 

Not a single one 

And that realization 

May be the biggest 

Heart break of my life 

No wonder 

I never think im good enough

I was starved from the beginning 

Good thing my roots are tough 

My branches gracefully 

Reach for your hand 

You may have shot me down 

But I danced my way to the ground 

Like a dying leaf at the end of the line 

A ballerina with no desire 

To perform for your applause 

To wear your heavy crown
