The life of an overachiever
Envied by many,
But what they don't see is behind the scenes
The constant feeling of not being good enough
The constant feeling I'm not doing enough
The constant feeling that i'll never be enough
It's always there clawing at the back of my mind
The fear of letting those around me down
The fear that I might fail
And if I do, then
A Failure is all I will be
Failure to my friends.
To my family.
To myself.
It's what I dread being
So I work harder, I do more, I must prove my worth
But soon,
It's not enough
soon,
My mind is slipping away from me
Soon,
Nothing will ever be enough
Soon,
I'll break.
It will all be too much
And then I'm left feeling empty
Because that's all I was
A great student,
A hard worker,
A helper,
An overachiever.
And that's what's scary
Without these things
I don't know who I am
