If you treat me like a princess, I'll treat you like a prince.
If you treat me like a game, I'll show you how it's played.


I can write I’m beautiful in many a font
I can say I’m smart all I want.
But the one thing that I just can’t say
is that I’m happy, with who I am today.
I can say I’m happy, but that doesn’t make it true.
I’ll never be happy not happy like you.
I can say I’m loving,thee proof is there
‘cause the truth is I don’t even care.
I can say I matter to everyone,
but that’s just so I don’t come undone.
I can say that I am worth the price,
but that’s just because I’m a sacrifice.
I can say my dreams are gonna come true,
but there’s nothing I can really do.
‘cause all I ever am is blue,
but the one thing that I always knew
is that I’ll never be accepted by someone like you.

I love your couplets actually make sense! I hae it when people rhyme just for the fun of it. Your meaning in this poem is really beautiful.
