Julie

Wipe that disappointment off your face,
You’re not the one to feel disgrace.
I’m the one who’s failed you so.
Don’t bury your head down so low.

I have slipped down slippery slopes.
I knew you’d give up all your hopes.
Failures I kept secret too,
To keep from disappointing you.

We’re not so likely, you and I-
It doesn’t mean that we can’t try.
My secrets aren’t an act of hate,
They’re just the proof of dirty slate.

I'm not the best at keeping friends,
I'm just too worn out at the ends.
Your optimistic aura glow,
Tends to make me jealous so.

So I'll put on my smiling mask
So I don't seem like such a task.
You are the very brightest star
That I look up to. Bright by far.
