when i try so hard,
others try harder,
when i try to be different,
others can do it better,
when i change myself to suit society,
society turns around and laughs in my face.
when i want to better,
I'm too late,
because being better is never enough,
and being myself was never enough,
and sometimes i try so hard,
to look like I'm not trying,
and society makes fun of me,
and sometimes I'm just not enough,
and sometimes,
i just want to be me. Or am I already me?
