Failure isn't an option.
It's never been one.
"You will succeed." the words of my father.
"You can do it." the useless confidence from my mother.
"You're a bad bitch" dms from strangers on socials.
"You're the smartest woman ever" a text I've read many time from my boyfriend.
I'm so tired.
I don't want to fail, but I don't know what else I can do.
I want to crawl into a ball on the floor and die.
Cause I know if they know what I know ill be labeled a failure.
"She's so good at school, she does it all by herself!" Brags I do not deserve.
My father would be angered.
My mother disappointed.
God knows what my friends would think of me.
Some dumb girl who thought she had them all fooled.
But do I anyway?
The person I call friend thinks me an idiot.
My boyfriend only thinks I'm smart cause I copy and paste my brain.
My words aren't my own.
I'm nice, but nice doesn't get you anywhere.
Nice is the opposite of what you need to succeed and thrive.
To be all nice is to be a failure.
but if that's true...
Then I've been a failure my whole life.
and I haven't fooled anyone.
