I want to be first,
The ‘best’.
I want to be chosen
When it’s me or them
With no hesitation.

Yet, ‘I am not enough’.
4 words. 1 fact.
I am not good enough to
Be loved, to be
Envied.

I am and will never be
The one they thank God for.
Or the one who would be
Fought for,
Because I. Am. Not.

Enough.

I always cry too hard,
Strive too far,
Reach too high.

I always work too hard,
Love too much,
Cry myself to sleep.

I’ve always gone above and beyond,
That is the life of an overachiever,
After all,
