Words From My Soul

Life's Pain

I never measure up,

Because I'll never be enough.

I always get left behind,

And sometimes replaced.

I was told life was a competition,

But I wasn't told everything,

Ends up a race to be the best.

I pass test after test,

But I'm always,

One point less from someone else.

I hate being second best,

Or considered trash.

I'm hurting because I'm not perfect,

But that's the one thing I can't be.

I write and write,

But nothing changes how I feel.

My fate was sealed years ago,

And I didn't have a say.

I just want someone to love me,

But you don't get everything you want.

I guess that's,

Why I can never have you.
