Forced Starts with an F

I tried to force you to have feelings for me

Just like I try to force my feelings onto paper

Somehow I thought if I could just find some way

to be pretty enough,

to be funny enough, 

to be smart enough,

you would finally realize I'm special

Somehow I thought if I could just find some way for my writing

to be bold enough,

to be vulnerable enough, 

to be relatable enough,

someone would finally take the time to read it

You see, I sit and think

about how I could change myself

and change my writing

so that I'm not the only one

with any idea of my actual worth

But the truth is, 

I'll never receive the attention I need, the 

recognition I deserve, or the love I long 

for if I continue to force it

Because all I'll get is heartbreak, and 

another sheet of paper to crumble 

and toss at my overflowing can.
