I'm not "her"
The one everyone
Sees as beautiful

How is it possible
That she looks at herself
In the mirror and just
She's the opposite

When she She x runs
Away crying
Feeling this way

Unwanted
Unloved

When in fact she's
Wanted
And loved

By everyone

I'm jealous of her
How everyday
Weather it's a bad hair day
Or just a bad day in general
She's radiant

And everyone let's her know

How
Can she not see that?

As they look at her
And forget I exist
Walk past me
Like a ghost

Like her shadow

Only time I get any remark
Is when they ask me about her

I'm not "her"
The one everyone
Compliments on her talent

The one with many
Talents
The one who can do
Anything

As I stand next to them
And everyone forgets me

A simple smile
Then a turn of the back

Can't blame them that
She's amazing

And she doesn't see it

Everything I'm not
As I try my best
And get nothing

I guess it's a good thing I don't do it for them

I'm not "her"
The one that turns
Everyone's head

The second she steps
Into a run
Crowds of people just waiting
To give her a hug

Only to look at me
With pity
And slowly walk away
Talking about her
And her all around
Flawlessness

Don't worry about me

Please don't it'll only
Make me feel worse

I'm not "her"
The one with
Exceptional grades

The one
Everyone cheers for
And wants to be
Partners with

Brains and beauty
She has both

Another area
In which I cant compete

As I struggle
She strives

I'm not "her"
The one everyone
Knows

I'm not "her"
The one everyone
Loves

I'm not "her"
The one that gets
All the guys

I'm just not
"Her!"

I'm not "her"
I can't do anything
Right

I'm not perfect
I'm not talented
I'm not smart
Or beautiful
I'm not anything
That she is

I'm me

But maybe
Then again
I am "her"
To someone else

And I knew all this
From the moment
I met "him"
