Be Happy

Never being good enough,

Story of my life.

I try to act tough

In order to hide my strife.

I know the reason why

I’m never what anyone wants.

It’s enough to make me cry

And leave my mind to its taunts.

I never give my all,

I waste away the day.

I constantly tumble and fall,

I wish I could fade away…

These are a few reasons

As to why I’m subpar,

From season to season,

I’ll never prevail the bar.

The bar of success,

way over my head.

Something I can’t access.

It fills me with dread.

I know our imperfections

Are what make us unique.

But save me your lectures,

There’s no need to speak.

Learn from my words,

Please listen to me.

Put down your guards.

Think differently.

Be Happy.
