My biggest fear shakes my world

To be found out for who I truly am

Just your average, next-door girl

A rock masquerading as a gem

Embellishing the unremarkable

Living life in the pretend

I used to dream of this moment

I was ignorant, impatient

Like I thought I would transcend

Oh! I knew I would be big somehow!

I gave myself until twenty five

As if my life would be perfect by now

That age came and went today

Falling very short from perfect

As the month turned to May

The girl who hides behind her dreams

Became just another face

Nothing special, or so it seems
