Validation

      That's something I seek with a simple number

     I look at a paper there sits a 95

     Most would say that's perfect

               But for me it's not 

      It doesn't make me feel happy

      It doesn't make me feel wanted 

                  Like it used to

    A 95 slowly had become the thing           that calls me a failure 

                  So, I stare at it 

       And remember that there will always be someone better

Someone who is more wanted

More worthy 

These numbers had become my worst enemy
