I have this feeling

That one day I'll be all alone

They'll all be staying 500 feet away from me

Away just to not see me

So why do I still try to win them over

Why do I still try to become friends

Why do I still try to achieve the awards they want me to

Why do I still try to see the positive when there is only negative in this world

This is absurd

Absurd that I still have a soft spot for those who bullied me, abused me, sucked the life out of me.

I cared so much

So much that I didn't even have enough for myself

I tried so hard to reach their high standards

But as predicted by everyone I have failed

Failed to keep my friends

Failed to be fit in with them

Failed to help my parents

Failed to be a role model for my siblings

Failed to be the first to be perfect

I tried though, doesn't that matter

"No, it doesn't

You have to be Amazing, Perfect, Flawless! " they say

But humans can't be flawless

Yes, they can! You need to or you'll be a disappointment to everyone
