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
