How should I portray my failures?
Ever since I was a kid
I have shown the world that I could lead
That at the end of every long line
I am always the first in line
How will I say I cannot
When all they have seen was I untangled the knot
But never those tears when I was struggling a lot
How can I say I'm less
When all they have seen was me at my best
But never the beast I'm fighting in silence
How can I show I'm vulnerable
When they see me as invincible
I guess, I have covered it best
My weaknesses with my success
And no matter how much I have failed myself
I have learned to always take the path
Where I have my tears for bath
And their applauds to cover my ears
From the cries of my heart
In exchange of temporary success
and just fake happiness.
