// i wrote this sometime in sophomore year. kinda in my feels rn & wanna put this part of me out but like who doesn't know this abt me??? uhhhh)hhHhhBhh yeah ok

constantly my brain tries to pin point exactly where to start

suddenly i realize there's no better place than when i was five and crying on a swing

when i was the messy hair with silly colored glasses, the short girl with a small frame,

the girl was born to be a shadow to fame

she was born to not know

born to feel like she's not good enough

born to never feel whole

born to be a small piece of a big picture

born to feel like she can't accomplish anything at all

every year it's another story

just the same misery repeated in a rhyme

every day it's another tale

just the same disappointment in my heart

every hour she tries to tell herself

that it'll be different, but she always fails

so here she is again, writing a poem

feeling as low as a whisper

because she's not worth a scream

in this world that is only about competing

with another who feels the exact same

with no end, no real sense of "winning"

we are forever made to feel incomplete

// hopefully my mentality changes next year? no promises
