The Words I Thought But Never Said

Coal among Diamonds

In a house full of medals with not one to call my own,
Sometimes I can't help but feel useless to the bone.
All of my siblings, they want me to surpass,
Don't they know how hard it is to do what they ask?

They shake their heads when I complain,
Saying my sisters wouldn't do the same.
They get amgry when at times I 'whine',
I just want them to see I have my own shine.

Sometimes I can't help but feel like the moon,
My siblings shining brightly leaving me with my gloom.
My best never seems to be enough,
So I just fake a smile and force a laugh.

People look at me and see another face,
I never seem to be the one standing in that place.
I've always just wamted for everyone to see,
That I want to be seen as no one other than me.

They wanted a diamond but they've turned me to coal,
I've given up trying to escape my family's mold.
