Who am I?

Feeling completely worthless.
a negative, hurtful thought.
With all these expectations given,
to be something I'm not!

I'm not the smartest,
I'm not the best.
I'm the one that struggles
to keep up with the rest.

Who tries so hard,
but always fails.
the girl in the back
who bites her nails.

Hoping no one hears her cry,
no one sees her pain.
Knowing no one would love her,
it would be to no one's gain.

Feeling the pain of loneliness
everything gone so wrong.
feeling like life is out of control.
and she's being dragged along.

Waking up each morning,
with tears saying, not again.
I can not face another day,
without someone, a friend.

Someone who sees my strength,
doesn't focus on my flaws.
Sees me for what I want to be,
and not for what I was.

I know that I'm not perfect,
I know I let you down.
But can't you see I'm trying?
To turn my life around?

Be my support to make it through,
help me see what I can be,
Who laughs and loves and trusts again.
That girl used to be me.
