Wasting My Time {Contest}

*Meh. I know, it could be better, but I wasn't really going for something amazing. Also, this has nothing to do with my RL, so don't tell me you're sorry and you know how it feels to be compared to your sisters/brothers.*

For so long, I've tried to be perfect;
not even that, just good enough for you.
I failed numerous times, a number unknown
and you looked right past me to see her.

'Be more like your sister, and you'll succeed'-
words that play over and over in my mind.
I'm wasting my time trying to please you
instead of being the person who I really am.

'Do this, do that, stop f**king up so much,
finally do something to make us proud.'
Nothing I do is right, because I'm not her-
the golden child that you've always loved.

'Make something of yourself, get good grades,
give us a reason to praise you, any reason'.
It's a waste of time to try and make you happy
afterall, failing seems to be my strength.
