Emotional Overachiever

People pleaser

Miss. “I can’t say no” coward,

Miss. “I feel guilty” ; 

oh please you’re fooling nobody.

Lose them or Lose yourself?

If you’d ask her,

She’ll probably shoot herself.

Miss. “ I’ll handle it” hashtag girl power

Miss. “ I’d rather not say it”

ugh such a loser.

Consequences she’s afraid of ;

Not hurting people is her fatal cycle.

Miss. “ I can save everybody”

Miss. “ She’ll let people walk over her dead body”

Miss. “ Positivity is her identity”

Miss. “ I don’t want to hurt you so I’ll take it out on me.”

Even people she’s pleased,

are very gravely worried.

People pleaser,

 But I’m not a sore faced loser,

“ Oh sorry did I interrupt you ?

Here please walk over my dead body.”
