If you're better that's how I want it to be
I feel inferior
Inferior to the people I look up to
Inferior to my own dreams for my future
I'm terrified of what I might accomplish
I'm terrified I want more than I can have
I feel inferior to the people who have the same goals
But I'm scared of what will happen if I don't try
What will happen if I feel superior to everybody
If I don't have to try be be good
If I can just half it and be enough
But that's not what I like
I like the way inferior feels
It makes me work harder
If the people I look up are not superior to me
Then why look up at all
You don't look up at somebody who's shorter
Only someone who's tall
You can't strive to be something that you're already better at doing
I need someone better than me
Someone to make me push myself
Someone that puts me in a place where I want to give up but don't
Someone who teaches me how to be better
I feel I can better myself that way
There might be a few tears
And moments of screw it all
But that's the beauty of everything
Push yourself to your limits because you can
Most people hate feeling like the little guy
Feeling too small to be big
But it's just how I like it
The feeling of being inferior

PoetryJust words that flow A river in my head It twists and turns And never stays the same The current is strong You can never go back Pen it down And remember The joy of the ride Through the rough bumpy tide That are the words In my mind.
