Impressions

Impression

It’s all that I was worried about,

My only thought above all,

All efforts on my appearance,

The impression I make, the praise I get.

Confident, beautiful and intelligent,

Complements I received galore,

Oh, why then I felt so empty?

Lonely, meaningless and forlorn.

It took time and heart breaks,

Oh! Impressions are much more,

Not just superficial but character,

Who and what I am leaves lasting impressions.
