Writing for you

You put me on the spot, now I don’t know what to say
I’m stuck staring at the page while my focus drifts aways
I can’t be super cheesy or come off super deep
I have to be smooth about it, like I wrote it in my sleep
It has to be short, witty, and it can’t have words like pretty
But to be completely honest, none of that is really me
I wanna call you beautiful and talk about the color of your eyes
I wanna give you compliments so good they sound like lies
And all in hopes of getting at least some of your attention
Even if I end up getting rejected or an honorable mention
